One of our family medicine providers went to the nursing home to do a removal. A nurse assisted with the procedure due to the patient having dementia and potential combativeness. The physician returned to remove the stitches 7 days later. Is there any additional coding due to the assistance of the nurse? And even though the stitch removal is at the facility location would it still be considered under the global period? Any help would be appreciated. ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
