Learn about HCPCS code E2611 for general use wheelchair back cushions under 22 inches wide, including coverage, documentation, and billing.
Frequently asked questions
Yes. The type of mounting hardware is included in HCPCS code E2611 and should not be billed separately. All mounting components are considered bundled into the general-use back cushion system. If the patient requires more advanced positioning cushions with additional lateral supports or customized hardware, those are billed under separate codes.
Only one diagnosis code is required on the claim, but it must clearly support the medical necessity of the back cushion to prevent denials.
