Hi all,

I am trying to confirm if our surgeon can submit both cpt codes 27810 and 27814 done on the same day but different encounters. Pt was seen in ER and closed reduction was performed under conscious sedation. It was discussed with the pt and family since there still was displacement of the medial mallous fragment ORIF would be performed, pt went directly to OR from ER. Please advise and thank you in advance!
 
If closed failed and it needs to be done as open in the global period, there is a staged/related procedure, modifier 58 can be used.
