I'm new to Ortho coding and i'm a little confused on the whole fracture care. I understand if you bill fracture care everything after is global. But what if a patient is seen for a healed fracture ? Can we still bill fracture care ? What about if the fracture healed on it's on ? Like the patient waited too long to make an appt. Or what if a patient had an ORIF at another hospital and then was reffered for follow up care with us ? Can we still bill fracture care ? Also are there any good website's i can find this information ?
