Can anyone tell me what code to use for a Healing Complex wound?

This patient has come in for a follow up visit and the Diagnosis is Healing Complex Wound, Not sure what V code to use or if I should use the wound code. No surgies were done.

Thank you,
LLR
 
Greetings and Salutations! You cannot use an open wound code after treatment has already begun on it. Aftercare codes V58.89 & V58.9 are your best bet. You may also want send in the office note as well. If the follow up visit is for change of dressing of the wound, then you can use V58.30. I hope this helps.
