Hello: Please help if possible:
I have a physician that feels he can add the 57 modifier onto all his office visits.
Everything that I can find and read states. The original E/M visit must be with a fracture DX,IF there is an application of a cast or splint.
This will put the patient into a 90day global. You can only us the 57 modifier on the ORIGINAL visit.
We understand it is a decision of surgery. The fracture care is what is gray.
Thank you in advance for you help.
