One of my doctors is billing 25525 on a patient. I am questioning his decision on choosing this code because there is NO mention of the radius or the ulna going through the skin. I clearly remember from school that you only use the "open treatment" fracture codes if the bones are going through the skin. Of course, others in my office are disagreeing with me by stating that "if the doctor cuts the skin open, that makes it an open treatment." Can some one clarify this for me as if I didn't know the answer.![Roll eyes :rolleyes: :rolleyes:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
