Debridement Resources

If you haven't already looked. I have found that my best resource for debridement coding guidelines is Medicare's. If you go to the CMS website and choose your local Medicare contractor and search the local coverage determinations for debridement of ulcers and wounds, you can print the LCD. This will have their definition of debridement along with all of the documentation requirements for medical necessity. This will also include the CPT and ICD-9CM codes covered.
