For a closed reduction and plaster casting of a right tibial shaft fracture, which code is reported?

The correct code for a closed reduction and plaster casting of a right tibial shaft fracture is 27750-RT. This code specifically describes an open or closed treatment of a tibial shaft fracture, which involves the manipulation (reduction) of the bone and the application of a cast.

The suffix "RT" indicates that the procedure was performed on the right side, which is a vital detail for proper coding. In coding, the specificity of the site of the procedure is essential, as it ensures accurate billing and reflects the service provided.

Other options do not pertain to the treatment of a tibial shaft fracture or the closed reduction with casting. For instance, one option may correspond to different types of surgical procedures unrelated to bone manipulation, and others may pertain to procedures associated with completely different anatomical areas or interventions altogether, making them unsuitable for this scenario.
