I am just wanting to check that I have the correct use of cpts for suture removal.
If a patient comes into the clinic for a wound repair of the finger (cpt 12001) and then returns to the same clinic for removal of the sutures, the patient is now billed with E/M.
If a patient comes into the clinic for an excision of a benign lesion on trunk 2 cm (cpt 11402) and then returns to the same clinic for removal of the sutures during the global period, the patient is billed 99024 with a zero charge.
Are these two examples correct?
Thanks for the help, Jennifer
