Good Morning:
If a patient presents to an ortho office with a malunion of the radial shaft....AND
................it is the 1st visit for the patient to this office....AND
................the patient has not had ANY prior treatment of any kind for this fracture.....
would I use 7th character A?
If the patient has had treatment with another physician for a fracture, then sees a new practice altogether and had a malunion...would I then use 7th character K as the patient has previously had treatment even though it was with a different physician.
Many thanks to whomever can help!
