There has been some confusion in the office regarding fluoroscopy coding. What would be the correct code to use for
LEFT ANKLE FLUOROSCOPY WITH 3 SPOT IMAGES
CLINICAL HISTORY: left ankle fracture.
COMPARISON: None.
FINDINGS: Plate and screw fixation device distal fibula and 2 Kirschner wires
through medial malleolus. Ankle mortise appears intact. Images available for
review at time procedure.
IMPRESSION: Orthopedic reduction of bimalleolar fractures with anatomic
alignment.
Would it be correct to code 73600 or 76000. ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
