Sometimes a patient comes in with pain and a fracture is not visualized on the x-ray and they are sent for an MRI. If the MRI comes back with a definitive fracture diagnosis, would you bill the fracture care on the initial visit or when they come back in for their first follow up visit? Sometimes the MRI results are discussed over the phone and the patient does not come back for 2-4 weeks for clinical radiographic follow-up and it does not seem right to bill it there either? Please help!! FYI, the treatment plans would be documented within the phone conversations and the planned follow-up visit would be scheduled at that time.
