A patient is referred for an x-ray for suspected rib fracture. After reviewing the x-ray, the interpreting physician confirms the rib fracture and also discovers spots on a lung, which were determined to be pulmonary nodules. How should this be coded? a. The spots on the lung are coded and reported first because they are more serious; the fractured rib is coded and reported second. b. The fractured rib is coded and reported first, and the pulmonary nodules on the lung are coded and reported second. c. Only the fractured rib is coded because the spots on the lung are incidental. d. Only the spots on the lung are coded because they require immediate intervention.
