Hi, Dr works in a Wound Center inside a hospital (billing for physician charges)... We are billing a callus removal along with the debridement of an ulcer after callus was removed...is that correct? I need proof that we shouldn't be billing this together since it is the same spot! pt has diabetic ulcer...

11055-59>250.60, 700
denied 11055
I cannot find anything from Anthem on their guidelines about this...
But across the board, can we bill both if debridement was done right after they removed the callus?![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Help!
