Wiki anterior wall of maxillary sinus fracture, frontal process fracture

[ggparker14]

Can I please get help for coding of anterior wall of maxillary sinus fracture and frontal process fracture? Would 801.00 & 802.4 be appropriate codes?

Thank you for any help.

Hi,

Yes...for the anterior wall of maxillary sinus fracture is 801.00 and for the frontal process fx, if the documentation is frontal process of maxilla, it will go to 802.4... and its better to check the X-rays, CT head or other radiological examination for more clarification of the site(frontal process fracture).
