We have raised a question in our office regarding a debridement of a sacral ulcer to the bone with no closure using code CPT 11044.
The crosswalk refers to ASA 01120 whereas 00630 has the following comments:
"RVG comment: Includes procedures on sacrum" and
"RVG Comment: Code 00630 describes anesthesia for open procedures in the lumbar/sacral region."
Our debate is which is a better choice for a debridement of a sacral ulcer (please keep in mind this is not an excision of a sacral ulcer) 00630 or 01120.
Would love to hear reasoning and guidance towards using correct ASA.
Thanking you in advance for your help in this discussion.
