The code for transport chairs can vary depending on the coding system being referenced. In the Healthcare Common Procedure Coding System (HCPCS), the code E1038 is often used for transport chairs. For a 19 inch transport chair, such as the "Transport Chair 19 Inches with Fold Down Back and Removable Footrests," it is crucial to verify the specific HCPCS code with the relevant coding guidelines or payer requirements, as they can change over time.
The HCPCS codes for transport chairs are:
- E1037: For a pediatric size transport chair
- E1038: For an adult size transport chair with a weight capacity of up to 300 lbs
- E1039: For a heavy duty adult size transport chair with a weight capacity of more than 300 lbs
