Please help! The physician placed an ABThera vac after a small bowel resection on a patient with an ischemic bowel.
As per the physician the ABThera closure is not a normal vac it goes inside the entire abdominal cavity and states it is similar to a "bogota bag" and is disposable.
I have never coded any thing like this, wasn't sure if the typical wound vac code applies? 97607 or 08?
I am lost.
Any direction in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
