Can anyone offer a suggestionon what the appropriate way to bill for the attempted reduction of a nurse maid elbow is? The example is the provider attempts reduction of the elbow but isn't successful because they determine the patient didn't have nurse maid elbow after all.

24640-52?
Or maybe just include it in the E/M?
