Question

Cpt code for patient is being seen for a dressing change for a burn on the arm and hand totaling 2%of the body area

Answer 1

Answer: Dressings

Step-by-step explanation:

The patient is receiving a new dressing for the burn. The burn is not the focus more as the covering, this is obviously a follow-up appointment to the original visit for the burn itself. So the main term is Dressing, for the fact that the patient is receiving a new bandage. Under the term Dressing is Burns. Follow up on codes in that subcategory of Burns under Dressings.
