A cast was applied by one of the physicians in our practice 8 weeks ago. The code used for the fx care was 27752, Clo tx tibial shaft fx.
The patient is now returning and seeing a different physician in our practice for examination of the fracture. This physician, removed the cast, examined the fx under anesthesia and reapplied the cast.
What code would be used for the billing of this procedure, since this wasn't the physician who initially applied the cast and treated the fracture?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
