Do you know if you can bill a skin graft 15271 and unna boot 29580 together? We occasionally apply a skin graft with the Unna boot in our vascular wound clinic but vascular surgery does not have a coding forum so I thought I would start here.

Appreciate any information you can provide

Thank you

There is an NCCI edit to indicate the Unna boot, 29580, is included with 15271. It is considered a "dressing" so unless documentation could allow for a modifier to overwrite the NCCI edit, it is not separately billable.
