Hello

I just started coding wound care charts on the facility side and the APC coordinator keep asking me for missing procedures (debridements) that I think should be coded on the physician side. Should she know this? Those codes are usually already there sometimes. When to use 97597 vs 11042/11045 etc. codes?


Thanks

Tamara
 
Are you using initial or subsequent visit? Our wound care coder codes for a hospital and just needs some reassurance on how she should be coding wound care visits that are reoccurring each month. Thanks.
