Wiki Aftercare codes for Fractures

[pgirkins]

what dx code should we use when our provider is seeing a patient for the first time that has had surgery for their fracture by another provider that is out of state and is not part of our group. Should we use the aftercare dx code or use the fracture code or just pain?

You do not use the fx code at all, it is either a healing fx or there is a complication.
