723.8 states CERVICAL SYNDROME NEC so many coders will use this code for cervical facet syndrome. 724.8 since the location in the ICD9 it reflects lower back so some coders use this for Lumber facet syndrome, but many LCDs tell us to use 724.8 for ALL facet syndrome Levels.
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.
