Good morning!
I am new to Podiatry coding, and have a question about how to code the Affinity membranes.
I am trying to figure this out by going back and looking at previous coders work.
INITIAL WOUND: 2/15 is 3 x 4 x .2 cm
THIS VISIT: 4/26 wound size is 1.2 x .5 x .2 cm
The only documentation regarding application at this visit: "Amniotic applied per manufacturer protocol without waste to plantar left foot."
The previous coder has Q4159 x 7. (with the prep 15275) But I guess I don't understand where she has come up with this. The website mentions "product size, not wound size", but documentation is scarce with the provider.
Could someone guide me in the right direction to code these?
Does the provider need to describe the amount of product used?
