Global Billing Policy

Insurance companies require that we bill our services to you using a coding system known as CPT (Current Procedural Terminology).

According to CPT guidelines, fracture care is billed as a "package" service. This means that at the time of initial care, a bill is generated that includes:

  1. Evaluation of the fracture
  2. The first cast or slpint application
  3. 90 days of normal, uncomplicated, follow-up care

The services that are not included in the package are:

  1. X-rays
  2. All casting supplies (including those used in the first cast or splint)
  3. Any replacement cast application
  4. The evaluation and management of any additional problems or injuries
  5. The treatment of complications

There will be a separate charge for these. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact the billing office at 815-484-6991.
