Good morning,
I am new to coding Incision and drainage coding, I am a cardiovascular coder. I need help understanding CPT codes 97605 and 97607 and what it means when it states durable medical equipment and disposable non durable medical equipment. As i am reading reports i am noticing that most all of the time a wound vac system is used, my question is would a wound vac system be consider DME or disposable DME?
What documentation would the physician need to document in order for this t be a billable service? As of right now the 5 reports that i have looked at have wound vac sponges were placed followed by the wound vac dressings or wound vac dressings were placed or with wound vac. Is this enough?
Thank you, anything helps![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
