I'm undecided on how to code initial Wound Care visits. My provider goes to the hospital facility wound care center to treat these patients. 90% of them are new to her. Senerio : on the initial visit she does a 99202 but also does a selective debridement of <20cm 97597. Technically I don't feel as though I can add modifier 25 because the initial visit is for the wound that she debrided and it's not separate. Is there another modifier I can use so she can get reimbursed for both, since she did the work for both? Thanks
