For wound care, we are asking our providers to updated their ICD-10 codes when a wound changes stages. Example Sacral pressure ulcer stage 4 at initial assessment, but as services are being rendered, after a few visits, the staging is now at a stage 3. ICD should be updated to reflect Sacral Pressure Ulcer stage 3 for that visit, correct?
We are getting a little bit of push back since someone at some point told them to permanently report the stage that the wound was during the initial assessment.
