Patient seen in the ER and displaced fx was reduced.
Told to contact our office, so this is patient's initial visit to us.
The question is now that it is no longer displaced, do we code it as a non displaced fx or displaced, going with the original diagnosis?
Displaced fx's that have been reduced, do often re-displace. It might seem odd to code our initial visit as a non displaced fx...only to have it displace again and then we are back to a displaced dx...which the patient initially received tx for in the ER.
I'd like confirmation it should be a displaced dx at the pt initial visit to us.
Thank you
