Can you charge for the removal of a VAC? If so, please help with CPT? I cannot find any info for just the removal. The only charge I am seeing so far is CPT 15852 for the Dressing change under Anesthesia.
The op report says:
All of the dressings were removed and replaced with a clean sterile dressing. The incisional VAC that was on the anterior aspect of his leg was then removed and iodoform followed by ABD padding was placed over the wound.

Thanks.
