We're having some confusion on charging a digital block (64450) when we are doing a simple laceration repair (code 12002). Shouldn't the digital block be included as part of the repair code? Also, where can I find this so I can review the criteria. Thanking you in advance.
 
Digital block for laceration repair

CORRECTION::

hmmm.. so, let's use a different scenario then. Regardless of whether it is a simple laceration or complex repair, if a digital block is performed, is it INCLUDED in the charge for the laceration repair or is it supposed to be billed SEPARATELY of the laceration repair? and....... is there a written guideline that quotes what is inclusive in the repair? Thanks again. :)
