Can someone respond who can support their recommendation on this question?
I need the diagnosis for this lumbar x-ray, there were no findings, it was a normal L-spine. The reason for the exam is documented as "Trauma. Pain."
The patient had other films done that day (shoulder, arm, hip, t-spine, etc) and the reason on all of them was "Trauma. Pain."
All the studies were normal except for the arm x-ray which showed a humeral fracture.
How would the exams that said "Trauma. Pain." be coded when there were no findings?
