I could use some help on how to code the following consultation:
The orthopedic surgeon had a consultation with an inpatient two days after being admitted. The patient was diagnosis with a closed trochanteric 820.20 and a mid-shaft femur fracture 821.01. The patient was fitted with a Sarmiento orthotic to stabilize the fracture. I know I should code 99232 for the consultation but I'm not sure if it is appropriate to code 27246 and 27500 for setting the fractures.
I'd appreciate your assistance!
