Patient seen in office & is treated for fracture-we bill CPT fracture code of 25500 along w/casting materials and DX is 813.23.
Now patient returns for globalfollowup visits & CPT is 99024, but what should be primary DX on these followup visits? Do we continue to apply the initial FX DX of 813.23 as primary on 99024 as well as any x-rays done?
Or, should we be coding a "V" code for "aftercare of healing fracture" on followup visits and x-rays as primary?
Or should we continue to code initial FX DX of 813.23, with "V" aftercare DX as 2ndary?
Any help much appreciated!
