Hi there-

I have a patient whom was seen in the ED voicing c/o UTI symptoms and a skin tag on her labia. E/M code based on 97 guidelines is 99282. My question is, the same ED provider treated a skin tag on her labia via a pursestring suture at base of the stalk. Would I need to supply an additional procedure code or apply modifier -25? I'm new to E/M coding and just wanted some insight. Thanks in advance for any help:)
