a co-worker of mine said that she had heard that if the physician does a excision of a benign lession with complicated closure, you can not bill both the excision and the closure.
i was under the impression that if a complicated closure was performed that both the excision and the closure are billable. the only time a closure is not covered is for simple closure.
am i correct? or my coworker? or are we both wrong?
