Wiki Burns

[AHESLER]

If a patient comes into our Urgent Care and we charge 16020 for the burn treatment can I charge that same code again if the patient comes in a few days later and we change the dressing?

check the code and see what the global days are....if it has a 10 or greater day global then all dress changes are included in the global..hope this helps

0 day global for that code and the description mentions Initial or subsequent so each time they get it done you can bill for it.
