Can anyone help me?
If a person went to the ER and had xray done and they showed a clavicle fracture and they put her in a sling and had her fu with us (Orthopedics) we examined her and we kept her in the sling with no weight bearing.
I did not code a fracture care therefore there is no global period. Since we did not do anything just left her in the sling.
Do I have to code a fracture care for this or can we code a straight E/M code.
I was told that we can code either way, I just want a clarification on this. Is either way okay?
Thank you,
Linda
