As noted in A Short, Incomplete History of American Traditional Tattooing, both men were the primary distributors of mail-order flash sheet catalogs and accompanying [â¦] Reply. [â¦] and through these soldiers and artists many copied Japanâs traditional big bold style and gave it an American feel.
As in all of the CPT surgical codes, use of an unmodified 28510 (Closed treatment of fracture, phalanx or phalanges, other than great toe, without manipulation), indicates that the physician is providing restorative care and any subsequent patient care usual to the management of this condition.
Is CPT code 26605 (Closed treatment of metacarpal fracture, single; with manipulation, each bone) the correct code for this case? ANSWER: From the notes you provided, I would agree that it would be correct to report CPT code 26605 for this procedure. In addition, I would report CPT code 26608 (Percutaneous skeletal fixation of metacarpal fracture, each bone) because the physician performed percutaneous fixation as well. Editorâs note: Shelley C.
