Redo ORIF 5th metatarsal base

Good morning, I need help in coding both CPT and ICD-10 codes. I have a patient that had a non union of her 5th metatarsal base. I did an ORIF on it, 2 weeks after surgery she didn't listen to me concerning her non weight bearing status, she fell and broke the entire repair apart.

I need advice on what code I should use, what diagnosis as well as any modifiers needed to redo and re-bill this procedure.

Thanks Dr Buccilli

Online exam - failed

Hi everybody!
I took exam on Sunday night and Monday morning.
This is my fault, I knew, I was not fully prepared. I was taking practice exams through CCO, and was getting 65% and less. I just decided to take exam anyway. Honestly felt tired to be all the time in a phase of preparing to the exam.

flouroscopic guidance denial

Hi there, I am not very familiar with billing in pain management procedures and we received a denial I am unsure about. We billed in this order:
77002-59 ( all with G58.8)
64420-RT
64421-RT
J1020

The denial states "the related or qualifying claim/service was not identified on this claim"
I have looked everywhere, but don't see any exclusions on billing these codes together. Can anyone offer any insight?

Thank you
