is the following statement true or false? fracture that is not specified as displaced or not displaced should be coded to displaced

Respuesta :

Answer:

True

Explanation:

In ICD-10-CM a fracture not indicated as displaced or nondisplaced should be coded to displaced, and a fracture not designated as open or closed should be coded to closed. While the classification defaults to displaced for fractures, it is very important that complete documentation is encouraged.
