Ask a Part B News Expert

We are a small rural doctor’s office and have patients coming to us for wound care management after surgeries taking place more than 100 miles away. These patients are being seen by our nursing staff and since they are not seeing the actual physician during these visits, we are not billing anything. The nurses do a nursing assessment, review of systems, medication and allergy review and the actual wound assessment, which includes wound measurements, tissue conditions and healing stage – a thorough wound assessment. We also do wound care education, along with medication review education. We would like to start billing these patients but are not sure how to do it appropriately. Any suggestions?
