"Dx:
Closed left scapula fracture.
Plan for closed treatment of fracture. Sling given for comfort. Ok for ROMAT. NWB LUE. F/U orthopedic clinic 2 weeks for clinical exam."


My physician puts in documentation above and bills CPT 23570. Is it good enough? Or what is lacking?

Thanks
Jyotsna
 
It would be better if the doctor documented that they were "Initiating Fracture Care". The reason for this is that the patient could come in for office visits and X-rays every few weeks and have those charges billed out rather than 23570. Another worker, coder, auditor may not understand that "Closed Treatment" in this case is actually fracture care and not other closed treatment.
