I have a question. Let's say a patient has a cyst removed and sutures are put in. For some unknown reason, the appointment for the removal of these sutures occurs outside the 10 day global period. For the documentation, my physician does do an exam on this patient and his nurse removes the sutures. Would this visit be considered to be a "post op/no charge visit", or would it be considered a billable service 99212ish? I have heard it both ways, and I would really appreciate any documentation that anyone may have. Thank you
