Examples of fracture aftercare are: cast change or removal, removal of ext. or int. fixation device, medication adjustment, and follow up visits following fracture treatment."
Used for medical claim reporting in all healthcare settings, ICD-10-CM is a standardized classification system of diagnosis codes that represent conditions and diseases, related health problems, abnormal findings, signs and symptoms, injuries, external causes of injuries and diseases, and social circumstances.
The external cause-of-injury codes are the ICD codes used to classify injury events by mechanism and intent of injury. Intent of injury categories include unintentional, homicide/assault, suicide/intentional self-harm, legal intervention or war operations, and undetermined intent.
Diagnosis codes describe an individual's medical condition and are required on claims submitted by health care professionals to third party payers.
CPT® 21320 in section: Closed treatment of nasal bone fracture.
The general consensus is to use the fracture care codes designated as “closed treatment without manipulation” and bill the initial E/M with modifier 57.
CPT® 30420, Under Repair Procedures on the Nose The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 30420 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Repair Procedures on the Nose.
Per the CCI edits, you can put a -59 modifier on the 21320 and they will pay it when billing with the 21337, but obviously this is only if it is truly a separate procedure.
To report closed treatment of nasal bone fracture without manipulation or stabilization, use appropriate E/M code”. CPT codes 21315 and 21320 which were in the same section with CPT 21310, have been revised for 2022 to include manipulation.

Z09 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm. The code Z09 is valid during the fiscal year 2022 from October 01, 2021 through September 30, 2022 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.
ICD-10-CM Code Z09 Encounter for follow-up examination after completed treatment for conditions other than malignant neoplasm
You would code the aftercare codes for follow up visits while the fracture is healing after the initial treatment. The guidelines state: "Fractures are coded using the aftercare codes for encounters after the patient has completed active treatment of the fracture and is receiving routine care for the fracture during the healing or recovery phase.

When the reason for an encounter is aftercare following a procedure or injury, the 2012 ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines and Reporting should be consulted to ensure that the correct code is assigned. Codes for reporting most types of aftercare are found in Chapter 21. However, aftercare related to injuries is reported with codes from Chapter 19, using seventh-character extensions to identify the service as aftercare.
Codes for encounters for antineoplastic radiation, chemotherapy and immunotherapy (Z51.0, Z51.1-) are assigned if the sole reason for the encounter is antineoplastic therapy – even if the patient still has the neoplastic disease.
Aftercare visit codes cover situations occurring when the initial treatment of a disease has been performed and the patient requires continued care during the healing or recovery phase, or care for the long-term consequences of the disease.
The codes for factors influencing health and contact with health services represent reasons for encounters. In ICD-10-CM, these codes are located in Chapter 21 and have the initial alpha character of “Z,” so codes in this chapter eventually may be referred to as “Z-codes” (just as the same supplementary codes in ICD-9-CM were referred to as “V-codes”). While code descriptions in Chapter 21, such as aftercare, may appear to denote descriptions of services or procedures, they are not procedure codes. These codes represent the reason for the encounter, service or visit, and the procedure must be reported with the appropriate procedure code.
Chapter 19 is titled "Injury, Poisoning, and Certain Other Consequences of External Causes (S00–T88)." It encompasses two alpha characters.
Most categories in chapter 19 have seventh characters that are required for each applicable code, and most categories have the following choices (seventh characters for fractures are expanded):
ICD-10-CM fracture codes provide greater specificity than ICD-9-CM. For example, ICD-10-CM fracture codes can indicate the fracture type (e.g., greenstick, transverse, oblique, spiral, comminuted, segmental), specific anatomical site, whether the fracture is displaced or not, laterality, routine versus delayed healing, nonunions, and malunions.
The aftercare Z codes should not be used for aftercare for injuries or poisonings. The appropriate seventh characters are provided to identify this subsequent care. For aftercare of an injury, coders should assign the acute injury code with the appropriate seventh character "D" (or expanded choices for fractures) for subsequent encounter.
Codes in categories T36–T65 are combination codes that include substances related to adverse effects, poisonings, toxic effects, and underdosing, as well as the external cause. No additional external cause code is required for poisonings, toxic effects, adverse effects, and underdosing codes.
ICD-10-CM distinguishes between burns and corrosions. Burn codes apply to thermal burns (except sunburns) that come from a heat source, such as fire or hot appliance. They include electricity and radiation burns. Corrosions are burns due to chemicals. The guidelines are the same for burns and corrosions.
All fractures default to a “closed” fracture if it’s not documented. Closed fracture means that there’s a broken bone but it is not coming out through the skin. This is really gross to think about but since we’re coders, we have to. Basically, if the report states “open fracture,” you’d code it as open fracture.
But what that means is that the bone is so broken and messed up that you’d be able to see it. It’s through the skin (these are very bad fractures, sometimes from gunshot wounds and those types of injuries).
Keywords for healing is if the documentation mentions “callus formation.”. Callus formation means the bones are healing. Just in general, here are some more facts about fracture coding.
Z09. Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Z09 and a single ICD9 code, V67.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
