Do we legally have to bill non-operative fracture care if we are treating a patient's fracture in lieu of billing out individual office visits, and if so, where is this rule found in writing? One of our doctors doesn't want to bill out fracture care to his patients and we feel he is losing a lot of revenue. Thank you

Fractures can be treated three ways: ORIF, Fracture care (with or without manipulation) or office visits. It's up to the physician to decide on the plan of treatment, not you. If that physician has decided to bill office visits rather than fracture care there is nothing wrong with that decision.
