layered closure

Is it only with Integumentary incision and excision 10000 and Trauma 20100-20103, that I can charge for layered closure?

layered closure

Typically, you can't charge to close if you made the incision/wound, such as during an operation. There are some excision codes, however, that you can charge for the layered closure.

The best thing to do is check the NCCI edits.
