I am VERY new to wound clinic coding and seem to have an issue with what I thought was an appropriate use of modifier 58.
We have a patient that the Dr performed debriement of wound 9active wound management) along with negative pressure wound therapy.
I coded this chart as 97597 & 97605 with modifier 58 but now medicare is denying as a bundled service.
Can someone explain this to me? I am usnure as to why they are saying it is bundled when PN stated clearing that he did both and NCCI edits says a modifier can be applied??
