If a patient comes in with sutures to be removed and they were put in at another facility by a different provider what cpt code should be used in this instance.

If the sutures were placed at our emergency room and they come to one of the sattelite clinics to be removed can we charge for this and what cpt code would we use?

Suture RemovalWhen is suture removal separately payable? Only in two cases: CPT code 15850Removal of sutures under anesthesia (other than local), same surgeon; or 15851 Removal of sutures under anesthesia (other than local), other surgeon.In all other cases, it is either part of the global surgical fee or-if you were not the surgeon or if the patient is out of the global period-part of the E&M code or Eye Code. Laser suture lysis is considered suture removal. It is inappropriate to code 66250 Revision or repair of operative wound for this service. Finally, for CPT purposes, a suture isn't considered a corneal foreign body, so you can't code it as foreign body removal.
