Billling Examples

BILLING CONSIDERATIONS

  • Debridement is considered a component of the application code.
  • Minimal wound preparation is considered part of the application.
  • Only 1 primary application code can be billed even if you have multiple wounds for similar anatomic locations (e.g., trunk, arms, leg). Select the code that represents the total of all wounds for that anatomical grouping. Bill the total units for the product.
  • The application code is based on wound size and the product code is based on product size. Healthcare Professionals should use the appropriate size product for the wound size to minimize wastage.
