I had a med a pt who is going to a wound clinic in a hospital. We have
recieved bill for OR minor which was for surgical debridement, lab costs,
and clinic charges. Since surgical debridement is beyond our scope of
practice in the nursing facility, would this not be able to be billed by the
hospital. I don't believe this should have been billed to us, should it?
