Non surgical dressing

A resident is s/p hip repair. He has steri strips in place with a small amount of drainage from the incision. The Md has ordered a dry dressing once daily. Would you consider this a

non surgical dressing since it is not the original dressing from the procedure and code it on M1200G? Or would it be considered a surgical dressing since it is applied to a surgical site and therefore not coded under M1200G? Thanks for your help!

    You are covering a surgical site so is a surgical site, coding under nonsurgical would be inappropriate. You have to think of why you are doing the dressing.
