Hi everyone,
Provider performed an open reduction with application of external fixation for left calcaneal fracture, also an application of DBM bone matrix bone graft. To report these procedures:
(1) 28415 LT - open treatment of calcaneal fracture
(2) 20692 LT - external fixation
However, not sure which code to use to report the bone graft, it was not an autograft. If anyone could advise what code should I use to report the bone graft?
Thank you very much!
 
Coding for dbm allograft

HI,

The bone allograft is supplied by the facility so the physician cannot bill for it. It's paid for under the resources used by the facility.
Hope this may help u ..
