Hi all,
I'm looking for a resource that states what the provider is required to document in his procedure note in order to bill for splinting in the Emergency Department? For example; type of splint, correct placement of splint, post placement neurovascular check.
Are those same items also required to be in the procedure note if it is definitive care and I"m coding fracture care. For example, if the provider gives definitive care for a finger fracture by splinting it and giving pain control, is he required to document the type of splint, correct placement of splint, post placement neuro check, etc?
Thank you!
