If a patient comes in for a possible fracture to the finger, the doctor sees the patient and
puts on a "aluminum frog splint" and submits charges a 99213/A4570/842.10. Then after
he gets the report back saying the finger IS broken can he change that charge to a
26720/A4570/816.01 "closed tx of phalangeal shaft fracture w/o manipulation"? Thanks
