Rebecca Jaeger asked:
Just in the middle of watching the Blitz course video for the Surgery/Integumentary system. My question is where in the CPT guidelines does it say that if the closure is more complex than the procedure when sequencing the codes the more complex closure would be coded first? I looked in the guidelines and cant find it anywhere. Thanks ahead of time!
