I have a patient who came in and has a metatarsal fracture. This is the read of the x-ray.
Transverse nondisplaced fracture through the base of 2nd, 3rd and 4th
metacarpals are identified. The alignment at the tarsals appears to
be maintained. Bony mineralization is appropriate.The dr. placed her in a fiberglass splint with a consult to ortho.
I want to code
28450 - 54 -T1
28450 -54 - T2
28450 - 54-T3
Is this correct. The code says each fracture, but because it is a transverse fracture should I only code once? I do not code fx care often. Please advise.
Thanks
