I need some help please. At my office we have looked everywhere we can think of and can not find actual documentation from any site that states we are no longer using Wagner to code a diabetic ulcer. From ICD training, if I am correct, we can use the stage but not code it as a diabetic ulcer unless the doctor says the words "diabetic ulcer." If the doctor just states "Wagner Grade III" we cannot just code a diabetic foot ulcer stage III. Is this correct and does anyone have a link they could provide so I can show this as correct coding guidelines?
