Metacarpal fractures without manipulation
Our patient had 2 (4th & 5th) metacarpal fractures on the same hand. We treated the patient non-operative with a cast without manipulation. Our provider would like to charge CPT code 26600 x 2. We are thinking since the fractures are on the same hand and being treated with one cast, we should only charge one unit for the fracture code. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
seeing patients without ID
Where I work we are allowed to check in patients without picture id providing they are cash pay. It concerns me that we are creating medical records and writing prescriptions for these patients. Do I have reason to be concerned or should I just relax?
Vascular Dementia without cause?
As you know, F01.50 requires a "first code" – psychological condition or sequelae of CVD/CVA. My coding book also has additional notes that specify "this type may also be related to other CVD including vascular hypertension and cerebral atherosclerosis." If the physician doesn’t specify a cause for the VD and there’s no history of CVD or a stroke, how would you fundamentally code without being able to query the physician? (Patient does have hypertension but no other cardiovascular issues.) Thanks coding community!

DM without complications vs. with a complication
Hello!
E11.9 (Type 2 dm without complications) should not be coded with E11.41 (Type 2 DM with diabetic mononeuropathy) correct? It is my understanding you should not code without complication and complications together.
Thanks!
diabetes 2 with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma
Can diabetes TYPE2 with hyperosmolarity without nonketotic hyperglycemic-hyperosmolar coma be coded in an office setting or is this coded only used for inpatient settings. I was told this code is only for inpatient setting because patient are not treated in office for this condition. But this is what the doctor documented in the office record- How should this be coded.
Med Management without the Member Present?
Hello,
Can a psychiatrist bill for a med management visit (99214) for a child, when the psychiatrist only met with the parent? The child was not present at the visit. Are there Medicare guidelines that state that the identified patient must be present?
Thanks,
