Non-Healing Wound Patient had a right TMA in July. Comes back to the operating room in October for wound debridement. Operative note specifically states: Patient with non-healing surgical wound. I submitted it to Medicare with ICD 10 code T81.89XA since this was the first time we are treating the non-healing wound. There is a Medicare LCD for the debridement code (11044) which only allows T81.89XS. Even if I were to code as an open wound, I still can only use the S for the 7th digit per the LCD. I thought Sequela meant, late effect.

Coding for Knee Arthroscopy and Chondroplasty Guideline changes related to chondroplasty and meniscectomy procedures. Mary LeGrand, RN, MA, CCS-P, CPC. The definition of a chondroplasty, reported with CPT code 29877 (“Arthroscopy, knee, surgical; debridement/shaving of articular cartilage [chondroplasty]”), did not change in 2012. What did change is the guideline instruction referring the physician and coding staff to CPT code 29880 and 29881 when a chondroplasty is performed with a meniscectomy (29880 or 29881). So, the ultimate change for 2012 is not with the chondroplasty CPT code but with the meniscectomy CPT codes.

If you repair the flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) with an intact flexor digitorum superficialis (FDS), you should report 26370.
