My doc final dx is suture removal. I coded it as 99024 v58.32. My auditor states I cannot code it at that CPT because the Dr did not state it was a global visit. Can you tell me the correct way to code this situation.
Pt post op visit for wound check- post op 7 days upper back
sutures intact, clean and moist.
Post op exam: Normal, dressing removed dry
Sutures removed.
Follow up in Derm clinic if needed
