I posted this in the Dermatology group and haven't received a response yet so I'm hoping to get some more traction here. Our dermatology practice often sees patients who heal secondarily (no repair) or where we've applied a skin substitute graft after the Mohs procedure 1 week and/or 1 month after the surgery. During these visits the wound is evaluated, patient is given wound care instructions and sometimes dressings are changed or a new skin substitute graft is reapplied. If there is possible infection a culture is performed and sent for further testing. In the case where there is no procedure done (no graft reapplication) and the wound is evaluated as above, can an E/M service be applied? I do understand there is no global period for Mohs. Like many others we use EMA for our EHR system; we are currently using a post operative wound check as our impression and plan. New to this and so grateful for the help!
