Hello,
I need some clarification on 57 vs 25 used on same day of a separate E/M and closed treatment is provided. Which modifier is appropiate 57 or 25.
My logic is that although the closed treatment of a fracture have 90 day global it's not an invasive surgery, so 25 would be appropriate.
57 I see appropriate when decision for an open treatment is made on the same day or next day.
Orthopedic doctors rendeing the services.
Thank you!
