How to code complication from post op

Have a lady who had surgery 90 day global period. 2 wks post op coughed and busted stitches and was bleeding.

Came into office doctor spent 45 minutes in exam room trying to stop bleeding used ring forceps, xylocaine, swabs, scissors, hemostats etc. Then when got the bleeding stopped had to put 2 stitches in through speculum.

Can I possibly charge E/M visit with what modifier?

Thank you
