help!!
i was wondering...does anyone know if the hardware/wire removal is bundled with the actual surgical procedure performed(knee)?
< procedures performed:
1. left knee hardware removal x2
2. left knee figure-of-eight wire removal x3
3. fluoroscopic use
4. left long leg splinting
i have a pt that had a knee reduction and fixation(surgery performed) but now returned to OR b/c there was irritation w/the implant...so the doctor had to remove it....the doctor that performed the removal is not the same doctor that performed the open reduction and internal fixation.
should i just be coding for the splint?
thank you!
