Hi:
I have found some ortho sites that pretty much confirmed we could bill casting/splinting during a global for an ORIF, but we really want to make sure CMS specificially agrees. This is the scenario that was billed by the coder:
8/22 13132-wound repair hands (pd)
8/23 26735-58-ORIF (pd)
76000 fluoroscopy (pd)
29125-59 short arm splint (should this have been billed?) (pd)
9/1 Q4009-plaster cast (pd)
29075-short arm cast (not paid)
9/6 Q4010-fiberglass cast (pd)
29075-short arm cast (not paid)
9/20 Q4049-finger splint (pd)
29130-finger splint (not paid)
Does anyone have anything appropriate from CMS that says okay to bill for these last three procedures? And would mod 58 be appropriate?
Thanks!
