What ICD-9 code would be correct for Bilateral Fractures of Mandibular Angle(closed fx)? Would I use 802.29 Fracture of Mandible, closed, multiple sites? Or just use the 802.25 Fracture of Mandible,closed, angle of jaw. I've researched multiple websites and cannot find the code to use.:rolleyes:
Thanks!!
