Accurate Wound Coding in Home Health. Wed. Oct. 12, 1 p.m. ET. Wounds are some of the most common conditions seen in home health and are also some of the most difficult diagnoses to code accurately. To code wounds correctly, the origin of the wound must be considered, whether the wound is infected, whether it was surgically created or originated from trauma. Some wounds can be listed as primary, while others should only be listed as secondary diagnoses. Some wound codes are eligible for Home Health Resource Group clinical points and non routine supply points while other wound codes are not.
