What AAPC coding credential do you HAVE?
Wound Care Centers: Part 2Diabetic Ulcers & Wagner Grade System
Question: Original question: There are really not many resources out there for
coders in Wound care and it is a very busy department with lots of
hurdles to go through for payment of these services. We have Skin
substitutes, HBO treatment, Debridement. Even just coding the Diabetic
Ulcers themselves, with ICD-10 codes that don't reflect the Wagner
Grade system my providers use, is a nightmare.
Alicia Scott, CPC, CPC-I, CRC
CCO Education Director
Part 2: Now we will talk about Diabetic Ulcers and the
Wagner Scale System.
