Non-pressure wound
There is some disagreement amongst coding, CDI and wound clinic regarding coding and documentation of the situation below. Would you all be an objective party for how this should be coded.
I was wondering if you could submit the below to your talk group to see if they would advise what is the depth of the wound based on supplied documentation? Also, what is your opinion?
- Skin Breakdown
- Fat layer exposed
- Necrosis of Muscle
- Necrosis of Bone
- Unspecified
