Scenario: On 10/19 physician did an irrigation and debridement of prepatellar bursitis with prepatellarbursectomy and application of wound vac. The bursectomy wound was then dressed with a wound vac dressing. On 10/22 patient returned to the operating treatment room and IV sedation was performed. The old wound vac dressing was removed. The wound appeared clean. The wound was sponged dry and a new wound vac dressing was applied. Are we able to bill for wound vac application CPT 97605 on 10/19 or is it included in the CPT code 27340. And also what if anything can be billed for the 10/22 wound vac dressing change under IV sedation?
