If a pt is seen as new pt and has a fracture but in order to determine what needs to be done a ct scan has to be taken. After the ct scan is obtained patient follows up with surgeon and they decide on doing surgery...can i on the first visit, charge for closed fracture care in addition for billing for the surgery that happens about a week later. I am unsure if i agree with this. I think that the first visit should have just been em service and on the second visit if surgeon decided against fx care then closed fracture care service should have been billed, not both of them. However, i do lack experience on this matter. Any input would be appreciated
