RE: Suture removal kit
We billed an office visit (99213) with suture removal by same MD (S0633) and the suture removal kit (02033). Insurance denied the 02033 as invalid procedure code. I cannot find any other code to use to correct the 02033 code. All of this was performed by the same pediatrician. Should I code it as 99199?
