I recently found out that Medicare will not pay for a 29581 (Application of Multi-Layer Venous Compression Dressing) if is it applied to the same leg with a Debridement of Ulcer - 11042. The frustrating issue is that the compression dressing has nothing to do with the ulcer. It is used by our doctor to treat edema or venous issues. I've tried using the 59 modifier but Medicare denies it.
Does anyone have any tips on how to bill this? Medicare will pay if the dressing is applied to the opposite leg.
Thank you!
