Coding for Musculoskeletal Services

You are a new medical coder who works for an Orthopedic medical practice. Patients are often seen for fractures or dislocations which require either a cast or splint. A common patient encounter may be for the application of a long-arm split.

Include the following aspects in the assignment:

  • Describe what a long-arm splint is and when this would be appropriate

  • Provide the CPT code from the Surgery section which would identify the application of a long-arm split

  • List the steps of how you arrived at this code and explain how this is important for reimbursement purposes
