Wiki Closing wound with steri strips

[Georgia@positiveresultsbilling.com]

Can I bill for closing a 1.0cm wound with steri-strips? What code do you suggest.
In addition a soft metal finger brace was applied. Is that billiable?


Thank you in advance

I'm not sure about splint, though its likely bundled as well.[/FONT]
