hello,
I was wondering if dr did fracture care on 11/11/09 with no plans for surgery, then comes back again for an xray on 12/16/09 and then decides patient needs surgery (ORIF) on 12/30/09. Is the initial fracture care still billable and the surgery is billed with a 58 modifier?
Not sure, any input is appreciated.
Thanks,
