Is there anyone out there that has extensive knowledge of coding for HBO therapy? My provider wants to put a patient in for a diabetic foot ulcer who also has osteomyelits. The osteo is not chronic so we can't put the patient in for that and the 30 days of prior treatment for the DFU have shown improvement, however the provider states that the patient will never heal or heal only to reopen due to the osteo. He assumes that the patient will probably end up with a toe amp and same issue non-healing.
Has anyone else ever coded a similar case. Just want to make sure that we are meeting LCD requirements for this.
