"chlorhexidine and then put 3 layers of Dermabond over the wound. It is dry after. We wrapped with Ace wrap and advised compression stockings."
Wound extends down to subcutaneous tissue of the extremity with steady pooling of serous fluid. non-cancerous lesion removed 5 weeks prior, slowly healing, no cellulitis. extremity edema with serous fluid draining. follow-up with physician for the leg edema.
Since the wound edges are not approximated and wound not completely closed, I would not bill the 12001. Am I correct in that statement and is there another procedure code this would fit that I'm not finding?
