Hello,
Can anyone tell me how to code a Patellar Fracture she obtained during the course of her recovery of a Total Knee Arthroplasty?
They are treating the fracture conservatively, no surgery, she has been a hinged knee brace since the TKA.
Do I code the fracture followed by the Z98.89 (status post) with a 99024 or do I code this as a complication? Do I code the fracture separately with a fracture care code with a modifier 24?
Thank you,
LLR
