What is E0676 used for?
An E0676 is a PCD that delivers pressure and inflation/deflation cycles for the prevention of deep venous thrombosis. HCPCS code E0676 is all-inclusive, i.e. all product variations in pressures, cycle characteristics, timing, control systems, appliance configurations, etc.
What is E0673?
HCPCS code E0673 for Segmental gradient pressure pneumatic appliance, half leg as maintained by CMS falls under Pneumatic Compressors and Appliances .
What is the difference between E0675 and E0676?
A PCD coded as E0675 is used only for peripheral artery disease. Other PCD codes are not used for this condition. A PCD coded as E0676 is used only for prevention of venous thrombosis.

What is a VascuTherm device?
The VascuTherm is an electronic cooling, heating and compression system. The VascuTherm therapy system provides precisely controlled cold or hot fluid that never has to directly contact the skin during therapy. The system is also capable of providing calibrated compressed air all in one convenient unit.
What is a segmental gradient pressure pneumatic appliance?
Segmental gradient pressure pneumatic appliances are appliances/sleeves which are used with a non-segmental pneumatic compressor, but which achieve a pressure gradient through the design of the tubing and/or air chambers.
What does a VascuTherm do?
The VascuTherm provides the solution for DVT Prophylaxis Therapy. Soft tissue trauma from injury, overuse, or surgical intervention causes an inflammatory response. At the cellular level, trauma causes disruption at the cell wall and can damage the cell and surrounding cells.
How does VascuTherm work?
By utilizing cold therapy, the temperature of the tissue is lowered and the rates of the chemical reactions that actually cause the inflammation are slowed. Therefore, more cells survive, the damage slows, and healing is accelerated.
Do leg compression machines help with restless leg syndrome?
PCDs have been clinically proven to alleviate Restless Leg Syndrome discomfort and in some cases, resolve the disorder completely. One study noted that the use of the compression therapy system resulted in a reduction of RLS symptoms in 90% of patients.
