Hello,
Can anyone clear up for me when you us a Fracture Care Code and when to use an E/M code?
I know that is they are going to have surgery then I use an E/M Code
If they got to the ER and they are put in a sling and come to us for follow up and we just keep them in a sling and no restorative treatment I code an E/M code.
If a person comes in to the office the first time for pain in the foot that she has been having for two weeks and did nothing about it and we give a diagnosis of Occult fracture would you code a fracture care or an E/M code.
Even finger and toe fractures do you code a fracture care or E/M
Any help in guiding me to the right way to code fractures would be very much appreciated.
Thank You,
LLR
