Hi all!
I work in an urgent care and we have an ortho on call.......we haven't had too many ortho patients to this extent. We have a patient that came in with 2 broken arms and the ortho charted 25505 on both arms. Do I code this as 25505 RT and another line item for 25505 LT or code it 25505 50? The payer is Health Net. Also we performed pre and post procedural x-rays. Do I code them as 73100 rt, lt for the first and 73100 rt, lt, 76. Or Most of my payers seem to want it on a separate line item for the the x-rays if they are bilateral. I know I have the right codes just not sure about the modifiers. And if they really need separate line entries.
Any help is appreciated!!
