I was wondering if anyone has coded and charged these codes together, NCCI gives an indicator of 1, however I'm not sure if it's appropriate. The doctor is placing a wound vac over an open wound after applying some mesh material. Thank you!
 
So the 97606 includes treating the wound, the 15763-64 are for skin grafts so mesh material if its just surgical dressing wouldn't apply to this. I would suggest maybe looking at the other codes in the 97606 series as the wound size is included in the full description. I hope that makes sense.
