Pt. present to his oncology/hematology outpatient infusion clinic for his scheduled chemo infusion appt. or an ordered lab draw. His nurse decides to change the bandage at his port site. Can she charge a 99211 E/M level for changing the bandage in addition to the other services provided? What if he presents for no other reason than to have the bandage changed? If so, what documentation is required, and is an order from the MD required?
