Need some coding assistance.
PT had FX to shoulder region & was treated in OR in 05/2010.
PT returns to clinic for followup visit on 07/23/2010. 2 weeks prior to this visit patient fell in bathtub & now has A/C seperation DX- 840.0.
We're still within 90 surgical global period-however re-injury due to accident patient had in bathtub-should I code this out as both a followup visit 99024 w/V54.89 as well as E&M o.v. charge of 99212 w/modifier 79 attached & DX 840.0?
Thanks in advance for any clarification on this.
