I just have to ask and I know the answer, but this isn't appropriate documentation to bill for 22305, right?:

PROCEDURE:
Closed treatment spinous process fractures T3-L1.

REASON FOR PROCEDURE:

back seat passenger. Assessment in the trauma room including CT scan
revealed fracture of the spinous processes of T3 down to L1 (x11).

The patient will be treated with the pain control and ambulation and
she received an MRI of the thoracic and lumbar spine
