Can a nurse place an unna boot at the request of the physician and bill for 29580 under the physician? Does he have to be in the buidling? Or whether in the building or not if he has not done the change himself can we bill 29580 or only 99211?
Can a nurse replace an unna boot at the PA’s request and bill 29580 under the PA? Or does the PA have to do the replacing himself? And if the nurse can do the change does the PA need to be in the building or available electronically? I do not think a nurse can do an unna boot change under a PAs orders whether or not he is in the building??
Or can we only bill 29580 if the physician himself does the unna boot change? And all others can only bill 99211?
I have found so much conflicting information regarding this issue. Any advice would be very helpful. Thanks
