Fall Risk Prevention Program: Part 2
We read and received your recent Coding Coach on the Fall Risk Prevention Program and directive to report Category II CPT codes for this service. We have a follow-up question.

When coding for nerve conduction tests, how are sensory, motor with or without F-wave, and H-reflex studies counted for nerve conduction tests?
Polydactyly Excision
We have a new surgeon in our practice who does hand surgery. I usually don’t code for hand surgery and have never coded a case before for polydactyly excision; how does one code this procedure? The documentation does not reflect any bony work.
