Is it common to charge an E/M with -25 mod along with simple laceration (dermabond) ? The E/M note is showing all components, however, nothing "above and beyond" is being documented? If not does anyone have a link or source information? Thank you in Advance. Robyn
 
We do not bill an E/M with just simple lac repairs. If it was extensive for a single layer closure it would be an intermediate code.
