CPT© Skin Procedures 2016: Part 2 Wounds and Debridement

Sometimes coding procedures on the integumentary system in CPT^© really gets under your skin! But once we realize that our questions are usually “only skin deep” and that a new perspective can make coding skin procedures in CPT^© less difficult, we can basque in the light of confidence.

In CPT^© Coding Skin Procedures 2016 (Part 2) , we’ll go deeper than the skin as we discover how to report debridement and wound management procedures using CPT codes. The discussion will include:

• Excisional versus non excisional debridement.
• When to report debridement performed at the same time as other procedures/services (i.e. fractures and E/M’s).
• The difference in active wound management versus debridement CPT codes.
• When to report escharotomy codes.
• Current coding and coverage issues related to debridement and wound management procedures.
• Documentation best practices to support medical necessity (let’s talk ICD-10-CM).

and more.
