My Doctor will sometimes put a dressing on an open wound, and by dressing I mean...... Band-Aid and antibiotic ointment. The Office Manager always puts a note on the charge for me to bill the Wound Care.
With that said, I've always been told that unless it requires a Procedure (ie; debridement, sutures, skin removal, etc.) that the Band-Aid and ointment are considered inclusive with the E/M visit code.
Does anyone have any info to help me support this? Or if I'm incorrect, please let me know.
I appreciate your help!
Thanks
