No code for suture removal without anesthesia, only 99024 within 90 day global period, exceed 90 days bill E/M,
with anesthesia bill

There are codes to report removal of sutures under anesthesia (other than local) for either the same surgeon (CPT 15850) or other surgeon (15851)

Hope this will be useful
