Goodmorning everyone,
we see alot of this in our ER, and would like some clarification,
If a pt comes in for suture removal and the ER doc removes the suture, we can not code/bill right? If it is in the 10 global period?, also for I&D's pt come in for repacking, if it is in the 10 global period we cannot bill/code for the repacking? but what about if they give meds and they open it up more for it to drain? then we can code right? thanks for any and all help.
