Hi I can't seem to find a guideline on how to code 'wound on abdomen" this is in the RFV and all the specificity I have no quering. Will this go to Open? Thank you
I think your going to need to query. Is this a laceration? Non-healing surgical wound? Due to the location you can probably rule out decubitus. It's hard to code when you don't know what your dealing with.
