When a person falls and has been treated at the ER and then follows up with their family dr should the fall be used as initial encounter?
If a person falls and not specific to where the patient fell is it ok to submit the claim without the place where it happened?
 
If this is a follow up visit, then the injury as well as the fall are coded as subsequent. If you do not know the place then it cannot be coded.
