[Lori]

Wanna bounce roll your way into an ER this looks like a fun way to get a medical code lol. So whats the CPT code for open bimalleolar ankle fracture repair? I think this may be how Barbara Cobuzzi went down lol just joking she is my friend & recently had this injury & shared her x-ray publicly & gave the code.

Spoiler: Answer

The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT®) code 27814 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Fracture and/or Dislocation Procedures on the Leg (Tibia and Fibula) and Ankle Joint.
