A: The LeFort I fracture does include the maxillary alveolar process, but NOT the mandible so you would code that separately, depending upon the type of mandibular fracture. Remember that the mandible only gets one code even if the fractures are bilateral.
Q: If you have a LeFort I fracture and bilateral mandibular fractures how would you code the injury?
