Wiki Fracture Care

[limit006]

I'm new to coding and confused. How do you decide to bill only for the fracture code and not the E/M? how much of an examine does the Doctor have to do to bill for both e/m and fracture? According to the 1995 guideliness.

Help is most appreciated

Sincerely,
Confused Coder
