We are a Family Practice office in a rural area and often our physician does in office procedures. Scenario: A Medicare patient comes in with a puncture wound to the hand. Physician examines, cleans and repairs the wound using dermabond; the patient also receives a tetanus shot. Is it appropriate to bill for an office visit (99213) or wound repair (12001) and include the G0168 per Medicare? Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
