My orthopaedic trauma physician wants to bill intermediate and/or complex wound repair for the closure of an open fracture. An open fracture debridement was also performed. CPT 13121 does come up bundled with 11012, but not the ORIF code. I have another case involving 12034 which does not come up bundled. It is my understanding that closures are included in the treatment of the fracture and/or debridement as the wound cannot be left open. Does anyone have specific links for documentation or additional information regarding this particular coding scenario?
Thanks.
