A physical therapist performs wound care on a wound measuring 9.0 x 7.2 x 3.2 cm. They debride 5 sq. cm. of the wound using scissors. Which would be appropriate coding, 97597 x 1 and 97598 x 3 or only 97597?
THIS!! Is there ANY state in the US where a physical therapist is allowed to debride a wound???Just curious, are physical therapists a provider type that is able to bill these codes? Also, is this service in their scope of practice for your state?
