Orthopedic coding continues to challenge even experienced professionals. Complex, evolving ICD-10-CM and CPT® guidelines, confusing global period rules, and vague documentation often lead to costly denials that now average 18% for fracture care services. When treatments aren’t clearly documented (open vs. closed, with or without manipulation), and modifiers are applied incorrectly, practices risk lost revenue and audit exposure.

Join Kathy Pride, RHIT, CPC, CCS-P, CPMA, and Brandi Russell, RHIA, CCS, COC, CPMA, as they deliver expert guidance to help you confidently code fracture care services from start to finish. Learn how to correctly report initial and subsequent fracture encounters, apply modifiers (-25, -57, 54, 55) to align with global period rules, and prevent denials through precise sequencing and code selection. Packed with real-world examples, this webcast gives coding teams the clarity they need to ensure clean claims and compliant reporting.

Why This is Relevant:

With payer scrutiny intensifying in 2026, orthopedic practices can’t afford to miss this session. Failure to adapt to heightened documentation and coding requirements could lead to increased rejections, delayed payments, and post-payment audits. This webcast delivers exactly what you need; clear guidance, compliance assurance, and proven methods to strengthen your coding accuracy, reduce denials, and protect your organization’s bottom line.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify and mitigate common documentation deficiencies in fracture care.
• Understand what is and is not included in the global fracture care package.
• Apply key fracture care modifiers correctly to avoid claim rejection.
• Assign ICD-10-CM codes accurately, including correct 7th-character usage.
• Implement strategies to reduce denials and strengthen supply coding accuracy.
