Good morning Coding World!!!


Do anyone know the coding guidlines for debridements in 2011 (11042-11044)


Any sources will be helpful...Thank you in advance
 
Thank you so much for your quick response...

From the article I understand the coding guidlines for the CPT codes. My concern would be the ICD 9 codes.

If I have a patient with multiple wounds with a 11043 depth, How would I listed the icd 9's reflecting the overall depth over 20 sq cms. Should I just choose one. and If I end up with over 8 wounds in total ???
