        Corrective splints must be corrective to qualify for a benefit as such. The corrective splint
        listings are not applicable to simple immobilization such as with a Jones bandage or metal
        finger splint following soft tissue injury.
         Application of plaster casts or corrective splints are not to be claimed if applied at the time of
         surgery (except for the application of a cast brace) or applied during the first 2 weeks for a
         fracture or dislocation when a procedural fee is applicable. The subsequent application of
         plaster casts may be claimed according to the following Schedule.
       Direct supervision requires the physical presence of the physician in the office in which the cast
       is applied at the time the cast is applied unless all conditions listed on page GP62 to GP63 of
       the General Preamble (Delegated Procedures) are met.
