I am looking for clarification of what or if i can code a diagnosis - compression of t12 and l1 (it will be different locations in the spine). The documenation doesn't say fracture so i am not sure what this is....i was thinking i just don't have enough info however i am seeing this wording all the time in the spine xray reports, and they never say fracture. Maybe it is meaning compression of the spine however ...again..maybe not enough info. Any ideas or words of advice?
