Can anyone share with me their thoughts on coding laceration repairs please. I work in an urgent care and there is question as whether to code an E/M with a simple, intermediate or complex laceration repair. I would think that if there are no other signs or symptoms involving the laceration repair and it is a simple repair that we would only bill the repair (whether it be dermabond or sutures) however if the laceration happened due to a fall, accident, etc. then of course we would do a work up on the patient and bill the proper E/M along with a -25 modifier. I would greatly appreciate some feed back, thank you.
