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)
