Suture Removal

There is no CPT procedure code for suture removal.  Most facilities do not bill separately for suture removal when the laceration repair was performed in their facility.  They do bill a low level visit if the sutures were placed elsewhere.  You will need to decide if you are going to bill for this service separately.  If you do bill it as a separate charge, a low level ER visit code should be used (99281).

CPT Code
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) code set is maintained by the American Medical Association through the CPT Editorial Panel. The CPT code set accurately describes medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and is designed to communicate uniform information about medical services and procedures among physicians, coders, patients, accreditation organizations, and payers for administrative, financial, and analytical purposes. The current version is the CPT 2010.
