Unpack CPT/ICD-10-CM Coding and Billing for Wound Care - On-Demand

Available ON-DEMAND

Presented on: Wednesday, March 16, 2022 

Presented by: Gloria Miller, CPC, CPMA, CPPM

Wound care coding and billing often carries unique challenges compared to other specialties as wound size, depth, and severity must be properly documented to report the most accurate ICD-10-CM and CPT® codes. Reporting is further complicated by Medicare billing edits and coverage limitations. Additionally, wound care clinics face increased scrutiny from Medicare and third-party payers regarding the reporting of debridement and cellular-based tissue products.

During this 60-minute webinar, Gloria Miller, CPC, CPMA, CPPM, will review the latest 2022 CPT and ICD-10-CM coding guidelines applicable to wound care services. Miller will discuss best practices for wound care documentation, coding, and billing, and describe new and evolving treatments for non-healing ulcers. She will also provide step-by-step guidance for responding to payer audits and preventing denials. The presentation will be followed by a live Q&A.

At the conclusion of this program, participants will be able to:

• Appropriately apply CPT codes for wound debridement and skin substitutes
• Report new ICD-10-CM codes for irritant contact dermatitis, thrombotic microangiopathy, and blood disorders
• Respond to payer audits and take steps to prevent denials
