Pt was seen in the office by our sports med doc. He attempted to reduce a metacarpal fx under nerve block, but was unsuccessful. He asked the pt to return in 1 week where he again, under nerve block tried to reduce the fx but was unsuccessful again. Sports med doc referred to in house ortho surgeon, for surgery consult. Pt went to surgery 2 weeks after initial attempted reduction. How would you code the first two visits with the sports med doc? E/M visit only, or fx manipulation code with -53 modifier?
Any help is appreciated!!
