is this pyramiding or is this law

[paulcolrain]

so during my last c + p exam The Dr. stated that my range of motion has met the criteria for 5251, and 5252, and 5253.

now this page says it is lawful to be rated under all these 3 codes.

All three of these codes for limited hip motion CAN be used together. So if the hip is limited in flexion, extension and abduction, then it can be rated three times, once under code 5251, once under code 5252, and once under code 5253. Each code can only be used once, however, so if the hip is limited in abduction and adduction, both are rated under the same code (5253) and so two ratings cannot be given.
