Billing Challenges For Wound Care Medical Billing

Most healthcare practices lack in documenting the clinical substance required to 
support their claims, and most often fail to capture a physician’s clinical judgement 
and medical decision-making for carrying out the procedure. When it comes to 
wound care medical billing or external debridement, physicians are required to 
provide documentation during the course, but the necessity of documentation 
plays more than that if you look at their own payment. 
Therefore, without sufficient documentation, it is difficult to do medical coding for 
inpatients.It is highly crucial to do wound care medical coding for the wound care 
providers by following the end-to-end ICD-10 guidelines.

We would like to highlight some of the wound care challenges with medical 
coding and how it affects your medical billing.
1.Simply assigning a code for the respective procedure and expecting 
payments from the insurer do not work with wound care medical billing.
2.Most practices may forget to provide the add-on codes for the actual code. 
For an instance, if removing a certain length of tissue at a certain depth, the 
insurer would look at the base code and the add-on code.
3. When assigning a present on admission indicator for pressure ulcers, 
particularly, when the provider does not document the ulcer for many days 
even after the admission of inpatient, coders should be too cautious. 
4.If you look at ICD-10-PCS, it shows exact variation between excisional and 
non-excisional debridement.
