Can someone give me some key points to remember on the physician and facility side of wound care billing and coding?
Thanks

Make sure your Physician documents the depth of the debridement: You can't bill 11044 just because he saw bone. He has to take it out. --tell them to dictate a picture of the wound, we tell our dr's we want description good enough for us to draw picture. Depth, width, color, what they see and touch.
DX codes are important. make sure you stage ulcer/decub.
Wound care is a big issue red flag audit as soon as they see codes.
Know your LCDs
Good luck
