My doc sees patients 3 days a week at an outpatient wound care center. Lots of these patients return weekly for follow up and many will only have a selective debridement at their follow up visit - 97597 or 97598. He has asked if we can bill for an est pt visit instead of the debridement since the E/M pays more. Does anyone know the answer to this question? I'm not exactly sure.
Thanks!!
