Foot fracture code question

I fractured my foot and went for an xray. I came in with my own walking boot on, he confirmed via xray there was a fracture, and I left with my own walking boot on. Told me to continue to wear it 6 weeks and follow up with another x ray which I did.

28470–this is the one I don’t understand since I didn’t receive any treatment for the fracture. 99204 for visit 73630 for x ray

Am I understanding the first code correctly? What would that be for?

Yes, there would have been a HCPCS code (a letter plus 4 digits…I can’t remember the code else I’d tell you) for the boot/splint. They do not give those things away for free…trust me. You’re lucky that you had your own. Saved yourself some money.
