Hi,
Please confirm the code for the below scenario.
1. Compression fracture T12 +L2.
As per ICD9-CM code directly leads to 733.13 ;Pathologic fracture of vertebrae (Common code for Thoracic & Lumbar compression Fx)
I have a doubt to take this code 733.13 that I believe document should specify compression fracture due to pathologic process (Osteoporosis).
But in Chart no where mentioned about osteoporosis. So can we proceed with this code or do We need to code 805.2 & 805.4 instead of 733.13 ?
Your help would be greatly appreciated,
Regards,
Dhanesh M
