If a patient receives wound care by nurses employed at the same physician practice office where the surgeon who performed the surgery is employed, can you bill a 99211 for the wound care nurse visit in the global period? For example, a colectomy is performed and the patient’s wound is cleaned and rebandaged by the nurse 15 days postop, can you bill a 99211? Another example is a patient is 20 days postop from a colostomy creation who now has skin breakdown, is the 99211 billable in the postop period?
