I am in Nebraska which has WPS for MAC B carrier. In the LCD L28572 under documentation requirements for reporting debridements, it states" the drbridement procedure notes should demonstarte tissue removal (i.e., skin, fullor partial thichness; subcataneious tissue; muscle and/or bone)....."

So my question is, if the provider only documented debrided muscle and/or bone in the name of operation but not in the operative technique can 11043 or 11044 be charged out.

Thanks everyone for their input.
