Can anyone tell me if a patient is being seen for acute pain due to a fracture and pain medication is being adjusted...would you code pain first then a fracture code? I was looking at G89.11 (acute pain due to trauma) and then the fx code such as S72.91A. (fx is not pathological) Also, would you code the muscle weakness if it was also due to the fracture?
Appreciate any input, thanks
