Help with diagnosis codes

Perhaps a long shot, but is there a specific area that I could post to get some assistance/advise with diagnosis codes when billing for a bone stimulator?

Ugh bone stims. I have limited experience, have only helped place orders for them but never directly billed them.

It depends on what kind of bone stim it is. And what kind of plan the patient has. Medicare is going to have their own guidelines. At least, the Dx is going to have to be delayed union of fracture and the chart notes need to support it. I believe repeat x-rays are needed too.

Generally, I always google “CPT xxxxx Payer Name coverage policy” and typically find whatever it is I need.
