Can anyone please help with a CPT for closed treatment of a proximal radius fracture?

Thanks for any help.
 
proximal radius fracture

Your diagnosis is too non-specific. It would be assumed that since they did not document this as a radial head or neck it is below the neck. That would make it a radial shaft fracture 25500. This is also assuming that closed treatment means without reduction. I would clarify with the physician that this fracture is either proximal shaft, below the neck or not a radial head/neck fracture.
 
Too many codes apply. Radial head? Neck? Shaft? With or without manipulation? Ask for more specificity.
