According to the Application of Cast and Strapping CPT® guidelines, what is reported when an orthopedic provider performs initial fracture care treatment for a closed scaphoid fracture of the wrist, applies a short arm cast, and the patient will be returning for subsequent fracture care?
29075 IS ELBOW TO WRIST. SHOULD BE A
initial fracture of wrist
I agree with 1aa99b1. Google results says that the answer is A.
C 25622, AND 29075. SIGNIFIES ELBOW TO SHORT ARM
Application of Casts and Strapping, p. 200, CPT 2024, states "all services include the application and removal of the first cast, splint, or traction device, when performed)."
