   Can use modifier 58 with 15850 as it is always planned at the time of surgery.

   Does anyone know the indications or Milliman Care Guidelines for Removal of Sutures under Anesthesia?

   Not sure if it is Milliman Care Guidelines, but I think this is perhaps the Guideline you are looking for:
   Suture removal is separately reimbursable only if performed by a physician other than the physician who originally closed the wound. Suture removal by other than the operating surgeon should billed with S0630. Removal of sutures when performed under anesthesia (other than local) should be billed with CPT codes 15850 or 15851.
