Wiki 12002 & dermabond

[diann]

okay, we are having a "debate" on whether we can code 12002 for use of a dermabond closure on a simple one layer or superficial wound. Is it okay to code this along with the E/M?

Thanks

yes you can code a dermabond closure w/12002, unless the payer is Medicare then use G0168
