I should know the answer to this, but . . . .. .
Patient in Emergency room with disclocated hip. Doctor tried to do a reduction
(without anesthesia) but was unable to do so.
Can I still code for the 27265 ? do I need a modifier ?
The patient had a prior Total hip Arthroplasty done ( by a different physician/group)
3 weeks prior, so is in the global from their procedure.
Please help ?
