Hi
I'm new to coding wound debridements and I have a couple of questions.
If a patient has two ulcers on the right foot of different depths would I use one code or two?
For examplene code was debrided of the subcutaneous tissue 20 cm.
The second wound on the same foot was debrided of the muscle 20 cm.
Would I use 11042 and 11043 or just 11043
Also, for wound debridements (11042-11047; 97597 & 97598) what would typically be included in the Evaluation and Management codes?
Also, what are some good wound care resources?
