A pt came in for acute coccyx fracture. The physician attempted to manually reduce this unsuccessfully. Do I code that? If so, how?
Thanks in advance?

The procedure was done if the procedure note states that he attempted reduction. Just because the end result of the procedure did not work does not mean he did not do it. If he attempted reduction it WAS done. I would still code this with reduced services modifier.
