Proximal Femur Periprosthetic Fractures and IGC Selection Episode 192

Welcome back to Coffee with the Coder! Today we're diving deep into a topic that can feel a bit knotty: the selection of IGC (impairment group code) for patients with proximal femur periprosthetic fractures. Our coding guru, Paula Digby, walks us through the fundamentals, starting with a clear breakdown of the definitions and classifications for femoral shaft fractures, hip fractures, and those tricky periprosthetic femur fractures—that's a fracture that happens around a joint replacement. Understanding these categories is the first step to getting your codes right! The key takeaway? Selecting the correct code depends heavily on two big factors: The exact location of the fracture. The specific procedure performed to fix it. It's all about precision in the operating room and on the claim form. Want to review all the details Paula covered? We've got you!
