Wiki Pediatric ortho codes

[ASC CODER]

I don't usually code for peds. But wanted to know if there are seperate codes for pediatric fracture repair versus adult?

one of our docs is asking and I thought I would see you anyone knew.

All the same

I am NOT an Ortho expert, but as far as I know NONE of the fracture treatment codes are age specific.

I didn't think so I just wanted confirmation because I have not seen any and also would be new at coding peds.
Thanks for your response.

F Tessa is correct, the fracture treatment CPT codes are not age specific but if you are using Q-codes for cast supplies, they are age specific.
