Managing the Risk of Coding and Documentation for Ulcer Debridement
Course Description
There is risk involved not only in the performance of wound care and limb
salvage, but also in the coding and documentation of wound care and ulcer
debridement services. The documentation requirements to ensure a complete
record, meet the requirements of your Local Coverage Determination, and manage
risk are extensive. In this webinar we will discuss diagnosis coding, CPT
coding, and documentation requirements of some of the most commonly performed
debridements.
