My Dr saw an infant in the hsp diagnosed with multiple fractures at various degrees of healing. Case has been presented to Bureau of Child Welfare for "potential child abuse".
I remember reading somewhere this needs to be reported to the insurance companies on the claims. But since this was "potential" abuse, how do I code this? Should I use 995.54 Child Physical Abuse, or do the same rules apply as in not reporting suspected conditions?
Thanks so much!
