Can someone please provide let me know where I can obtain information on suture removal in a UCC?

If the ER sends them can we bill a E/M?
If a different provider sees them for the removal can the UC bill an E/M?


Thank you!
 
If the ED sends the patient for suture removal you can code a low e/m code. If one provider in the urgent care place a simple lac sutures and another removes them you can bill a low e/m code. There is no more global period for simple lac.
