Is it okay to bill this to Medicare for an Urgent care visit?
S61.011D - Laceration without foreign body of right thumb without damage to nail, subsequent encounter
Z48.02 - Encounter for removal of sutures
99212 – E&M established pt.
my information states that:
Medicare includes the following services in the global surgery payment when provided in addition to the surgery:
• Miscellaneous services, such as dressing changes, local incision care, removal of operative pack, removal of cutaneous sutures and staples, lines, wires, tubes, drains, casts, and splints; insertion, irrigation, and removal of urinary catheters, routine peripheral intravenous lines, nasogastric and rectal tubes; and changes and removal of tracheostomy tubes
but since 12001 has no global days (000) Do you think this is okay to bill?
Medicare paid and left $35 copay for pt.
