How would you code both of these fractures? There was no manipulation done and the patient was put in a sugar tong splint. I thought about 25600 but there is no palmar displacement and there is a dorsal angulation. Any suggestions on this? Thank You in advance!
 
Perfect! Thank You so much!! I thought there was a code for both, just wasn't finding it! I appreciate your help!

Make sure that the physician documents that they are initiating fracture care. Just stating that the patient was put into a splint or that it will be treated non-operatively does not support the code.
 
Yes! Thank You so much for your help! Is there a helpful place to learn how to bill fractures? I really struggle with them!
