I am trying to figure out if a HCPCS code S8451 can be billed on the professional side with an E/M in a hospital organization? The patient has Anthem and was seen in the UC and the physician applied an ankle splint for a sprain.

The physician only submitted the charge for S8451 so an E/M needs assigned and 29515 for the splint application but can S8451 be billed too? I've always been told that the HCPCS codes are billed on the hospital side and not the professional side. What should be billed on the professional side?

Thank you! :)
