Wiki placement of Wittmann patch

[lawsonl2@msu.edu]

Good morning,

I have a patient that has been taken back to the OR for re-opening of ex-lap
with placement of a Wittmann patch and wound vac change for open abdominal wound.

I am not sure how to code the patch??

Thank you for any help you can provide.

Laura

Wittmann patch is usually used for hernia repairs. I would look at 49560-49565 as possible codes.
