HCPCS Code L0637: Lumbar-Sacral Orthosis (LSO), Sagittal-Coronal Control, Rigid Anterior and Posterior Frames/Panels, Includes Fitting and Adjustment

HCPCS code L0637 is a lumbar-sacral orthosis with rigid anterior and posterior panels, providing sagittal-coronal control from the sacrococcygeal junction to T-9 vertebra, assembled or otherwise customized to fit.

A lumbar brace is medically necessary to stabilize the lower spine, reduce pain, limit motion, and support healing after injury or surgery. Medical necessity must be documented in the treating practitioner’s medical record.

L codes for back braces include L0631, L0637, L0638, and L0648, representing various lumbar-sacral orthoses with different controls, custom-fitted designs, and off-the-shelf options.

Lumbar-sacral orthosis is a back brace that supports and stabilizes the lumbar and sacral spine, restricting motion to reduce pain and aid recovery, often using rigid material, shoulder straps, and stabilizing closures.
