In which setting would you most likely find K codes in use?

K codes are specifically designed for the reporting of durable medical equipment (DME) and prosthetics, which includes a variety of items that assist patients in mobility or provide therapeutic support. Therefore, prosthetic and orthotic facilities are most likely to utilize K codes during billing and documentation processes. These facilities focus on providing devices like prosthetic limbs or orthopedic supports, which are categories covered under the K codes in the HCPCS Level II coding system.

Other settings listed, such as urgent care centers, dentist offices, and physical therapy clinics, typically do not primarily focus on the provision of prosthetics or orthotics. Although these settings may use other types of codes to describe their services or equipment, they generally do not involve the use of K codes that are specifically relevant to durable medical equipment and assistive devices.
