Are X-ray's billable when performed to assess how the fracture is healing?

Yes you use a V54.x code for aftercare for healing fx.

would you also use the fracture code along with the V54. X ?

no you do not code the acute fx code after the fx has been treated. It is a healing fx by definition use the V54.x code only.
