L3807 is a prefabricated device that must be substantially altered (e.g., heat molded, trimmed, bent with tools) by a certified professional to fit the patient's unique anatomy for a therapeutic outcome. L3809 is a prefabricated device that requires minimal or no professional adjustment, and the adjustments can be performed by the patient, caretaker, or supplier. The difference in the level of professional modification is the critical distinction for coding and reimbursement.
