There is a debate going between coders here at my facility. Maybe I can get some other opinions out there:
The patient presents to the ER with injuries. The physician diagnosis the patient with a zygote and orbital wall fracture and transfers the patient by ambulance to a bigger facility in a separate town.
The ER doctor did use ice; x-rays; and pain management.
Would you code this fracture care or just the E/M level?
Thanks, Susan
