Hi , Can anyone give answer to my below question
Does CPT code series 16000--16030 qualifies only for fire burn wound care or can it be coded for burns caused other than fire also (ex: rope burn/cosmetics burn etc).
We have an urgent care setting where wound care procedures i.e., dressing of all kind of burn wounds will be performed .So wanted to know if above mentioned CPT series holds good for all kind of burns or do we need to consider non fire burns as inclusive to E/M.Kindly advise
Thanks
