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.
