- This training on fracture care coding will review the CPT coding rules and ICD-9-CM guidelines for fracture care to ensure that the provider receives the appropriate reimbursement. It will also discuss the anatomy of common bones in the body to help you in choosing proper codes.
Why Should You Attend :
There are various ways in which to treat fractures as well as the complications that occur when fractures don’t heal right. Also, because the fracture treatment codes are listed in CPT? by body area, it is important to understand the anatomy for proper code choice.

There are several other circumstances in which additional CPT? codes can be reported with fracture treatment codes, when performed, for additional reimbursement due to the complexity. This includes external fixation and debridements of open fractures so that providers are compensated for all services performed.
