I have a patient that underwent surgery months ago, and now has a wound seroma. She continues to follow-up in the office every 2 weeks, (THE PLAN)with the physician for a wound-VAC closure. My question is can we bill an office visit every time the patient comes back with a mod 25. The physician has this plan for the patient, and the patient is only being seen for the wound-VAC closure. However, the physician is dictating an HPI for the cancer diag, along with a Past HX, and Phy Exam, but is only treating the patient for the wound closure. Because he is doing an HPI, and Phy Exam, is the procedure considered separately identifiable??????
