My apologies if I've posted this in the wrong forum.
Our providers are beginning to see patients in a wound care center (POS 19). We do not own the center, simply providing the care for the patients. In the office, we do not bill for the E&M if the patient has a debridement on the same day as the visit even if they are a new patient. Does this hold true for a wound care clinic? Is it okay to bill the E&M with a 25 modifier (initial or subsequent)? Any help would be appreciated...
