Hello,
I'm not quite sure how to bill this and if Medicare will even reimburse. I had a patient come in to see his PCP for falling on ice and fracturing his knee and having some open wounds. The nurse applied dressing to the patient. Normally if a patient would see the nurse for a dressing change I would bill 99211, but since he saw the doctor I was wondering for the supplies used (there was a lot) can I use 99070 or are there any other codes that can be used for the supplies with the E&M code?
