Patients who come in s/p sugery by another physician and have a dressing cleanse & change - what CPT® code would I charge?

wound dressing change

Were the dressing changes done under anesthesia? If so, you can then use 15852.

E/M for dressing change

If your physician is not part of the same group as the physician that did the surgery then you would just bill the E/M code, the dressing change would be included in the visit. If physician is part of the same group then this is a normal part of the global post-op and is not a reportable service.

If dressing change was done under anesthsia then see above comment.
