Patient was seen by a Physician in our office he placed a cast 2-weeks ago then we removed it. Patient had X-ray (not in our office) which revealed he needs the cast back on. So pt is back in our office to have the cast reapplied.

Can I bill this out?

I was thinking 29085 mod 76-Guantlet short arm
Q4014-Cast supplies

Any advice would be great..Thanks in advance!!!
 
29085 has no global days, so I'm not sure why you would apply a -76 modifier to it..?.. Was the first casting done as part of a fracture care code, ex 25600? If you've created a global period with a fracture care code, then you would use -58 for staged/planned procedure. If you only billed 29085 at the first visit, then you didn't create a global period, so you should be fine with just the 29085, no 58 or 76.
 
Thank you so much for your help and explanation. No fracture code was billed so will continue with no modifier!!

Thank you again for explaining it!
