Does anyone know if chiropractors (in this case a chiropractic orthopedist) can bill closed fracture care codes such as 26600 (closed treatment of metacarpal fracture without manipulation)? A chiropractor is claiming she can bill for this because of her chiropractic orthopedist credential. She says she's licensed and certified to treat fractures.
This is in Ohio - it may vary from one state to the other, but I'm wondering if this is paid anywhere. The Bureau of Workers' Comp denied it saying the procedure isn't valid for that provider type. She may appeal it, but I'm wondering if anyone has seen these paid or has billed it.
Thanks for any help.
