Invacare E1028 Coding Guideline E2327, Coding Guideline E2328, E2329, E2330, E2331, E2399

E2327	Power wheelchair accessory, head control interface, mechanical, proportional, including all related
	electronics, mechanical direction change switch, and fixed mounting hardware ($1960 to $2307)
	Coding Guideline (E2327)
	A proportional, mechanical head control interface (E2327) is one in which a headrest is attached to
	a joystick-like device. The direction and amount of movement of the patient's head pressing on the
	headrest control the direction and speed of the wheelchair. A mechanical direction control switch is
	included in the code.
E2328	Power wheelchair accessory, head control or extremity control interface, electronic, proportional,
	including all related electronics and fixed mounting hardware ($3295 to $3878)
	Coding Guideline (E2328)
	A proportional, electronic head control interface (E2328) is one in which a patient's head
	movements are sensed by a box placed behind the patient's head. The direction and amount of
	movement of the patient's head (which does not come in contact with the box) control the direction
	and speed of the wheelchair. A proportional, electronic extremity control interface (E2328) is one in
	which the direction and amount of movement of the patient's arm or leg control the direction and
	speed of the wheelchair.
E2329	Power wheelchair accessory, head control interface, contact switch mechanism, non-proportional,
	including all related electronics, mechanical stop switch, mechanical direction change switch, head
	array, and fixed mounting hardware ($1470 to $1731)
	Coding Guideline (E2329)
	A non-proportional, contact switch head control interface (E2329) is one in which a patient
	activates one of three mechanical switches placed around the back and sides of their head. These
	switches are activated by pressure of the head against the switch. The switch that is selected
	determines the direction of the wheelchair. A mechanical stop switch and a mechanical direction
	change switch are included in the allowance for the code.
E2330	Power wheelchair accessory, head control interface, proximity switch mechanism, non-
	proportional, including all related electronics, mechanical stop switch, mechanical direction change
	switch, head array, and fixed mounting hardware ($2833 to $3334)
	Coding Guideline (E2330)
	A non-proportional, proximity switch head control interface (E2330) is one in which a patient
	activates one of three switches placed around the back and sides of their head. Movement of the
	head toward the switch activates the switch, though the head does not touch the switch. The switch
	that is selected determines the direction of the wheelchair. A mechanical stop switch and a
	mechanical direction change switch is included in the allowance for the code
E2331	Power wheelchair accessory, attendant control, proportional, including all related electronics and
	fixed mounting hardware (Non-covered by Medicare)
	Coding Guideline (E2331)
	An attendant control (E2331) is one, which allows a caregiver to drive the wheelchair instead of the
	patient. The attendant control is usually mounted on one of the rear canes of the wheelchair. This
	code is limited to proportional control devices, usually a joystick.
E2399	Power wheelchair accessory, not otherwise classified interface, including all related electronics and
	any type mounting hardware (Individual Consideration)
