Hello everyone,
I am new to coding for orthopedics and I was curious on how to code for casting and the supplies? So example a patient broke their arm and needed a cast, we would do a fracture care code and everything is included in that code for that first visit except the supplies? Does Medicare cover casting supplies and what codes do we use the A or Q set of codes? Any other follow ups and needed a new cast we would code for the application and the supplies?
Any insight on this is appreciated. Thank you all for your time.
Thanks,
Krystal
