   One of our family practice doctors saw a patient in the office with a fracture/dislocation of the PIP joint. The doctor did a large field block and attempted a reducion, unsuccesfully. He then had one of our podiatrists help him to reduce the fracture and he was not able to reduce it either.
   The patient is now scheduled to have an open reduction done with the podiatrist. How do I bill for the reduction the family practice doctor attempted? He is already billing a 99215 based an exam for another condition on that same day.
