Patient had open fracture, we derided to bone (11012) and put external fixator on and scheduled staged procedure for ORIF for further debridement in 2 wks.
Dr. derided wound from open fracture. Do we still code this in the open fx series (11010-11012) or regular debridement of open wound (11040-11040)?
Thanks,
Kim, CPC
