Hello,
I have a question regarding a global period for suture removal when the laceration was sutured in the same facility. We do not charge for suture removal when a patient comes back during the 10 day global period. Currently, we are discussing with the billing dep. on how to charge for the suture removal. I would like to know how other facilities charge for the suture removal.
Thank you for your help,
Benka
 
We did not charge for suture removal unless the sutures were put in at another facility and then it usually was a nurse only visit ie:99211.
