If a provider does callus debridement around a wound for an ulcer and the patient does not have neuropathy, do you append modifier GY or GZ? As we know we do not have a payable diagnosis.

Thank you,

Is the provider also debriding said ulcer?

You can ask the provider for a payable diagnosis if you still didn't get the payable diagnosis then you can use modifier GZ.
