I have four questions about urgent care coding for a est. patient.

1. The patient comes in for a lac repair of the arm 2.5cm. Even thought we do a history and ros and exam we should code jsut for the reapair right? 12001

2. Same case as above but the patient is here for an I an D of a abcess. We should just code the I and D right? 10060

3. Patient comes in for pain in the finger. We do an x-ray and see thats its a fracture. We should just code the fracture repair, x-ray and the dme for the splint right?

4. Patient comes in for pain in the finger. We do an x-ray and patient has no fracture but the finger is sprain. We should just bill for the app and the z-ray and the splint or do we give an e/m also.

Thanks so much for the help.
