Hello,
We have just started this service thru our hospital treatment room. I have a question on how to charge for this service when patient comes in for a scheduled Unna boot change. Sometimes the provider will see the patient prior to the boot being applied by the RN. He will look at the wound and than has the RN replace the Unna boot. Can I still give the provider an E/M? If this was in the clinic setting and patient is coming in for her boot change I could not give him the E/M charge with 29580. Not sure if this would be the same for in hospital/treatment room?
Thanks,
Nichole
