TLSO/LSO Coverage Guidelines

Helvetica Light is an easy-to-read font, with tall and narrow letters, that works well on almost every site.

A spinal orthosis is covered when it is ordered for one of the following indications:

​​

  1. To reduce pain by restricting mobility of the trunk; or
     

  2. To facilitate healing following an injury to the spine or related soft tissues; or
     

  3. To facilitate healing following a surgical procedure on the spine or related soft tissue; or
     

  4. To otherwise support weak spinal muscles and/or a deformed spine.

​

If a spinal orthosis is provided and the coverage criteria are not met, the item will be denied as not medically necessary.
