  2. Top Challenges with Wound Care Billing Services Denials in healthcare usually focus on high-dollar procedures like hip and knee replacements, or other MS-DRGs may also come under this radar. With wound care medical billing and coding, we have identified so many challenges. Proper documentation is necessary for clinical substances and processes especially when support medical necessity is involved. This doesn't attract a clinician's judgment and medical decision-making for performing the procedure. Physicians have been conditioned to document excisional debridement, but if we think about payment recovery for these practices, they need to do a lot more than just paperwork and documentation. To handle wound care medical coding for inpatients frequently lacks sufficient documentation. https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com | +1 888-502-0537

  3. Top Challenges with Wound Care Billing Services • Here are some challenges we found with wound care billing and coding. • The most common error is wound care facilities don't use the add-on codes properly. If removing over 20 cm2 of tissue at a particular depth, it's important to use the base code and the add-on code. • It's a common myth with coding and billing that if there is a code for a procedure or product, the insurance plan will pay it. • ICD-10-PCS differentiates between removable and non-removable debridement. The ICD-10-PCS root operations excision and extraction indicate excisional debridement and non-excisional debridement, sequentially. • Coders need to be aware of assigning a present on admission (POA) indicator for pressure ulcers, particularly when the healthcare service provider does not note down the ulcer until many days after inpatient admission. https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com | +1 888-502-0537

  4. Top Challenges with Wound Care Billing Services It's now more than important for wound care providers to make sure that they are coding to the accuracy and following all the ICD-10 guidelines. While it's not so clear about the elimination of CMS was under this grace period, it might be some things that we are working on with ICD-10 that may not continue to be satisfactory. Many times, a wound care center offers excellent patient care, and healing rates are high. But, when it comes to calculating revenue, clinical staff is left in the dark. While providing good patient care is necessary, a center that misses tracking its revenue may soon see its doors closed. Wound care billing and coding are at the heart of every practice and are important for the survival of the center. https://www.247medicalbillingservices.com | +1 888-502-0537
