Hi,
I'm looking for some assistance with wound care coding for hospitals in ICD-10
regarding the seventh character extension. If patient is coming in several times within a month and having debridements performed would we use the seventh character A as the patient is still receiving active treatment for the wound ?
Thanks in advance for your assistance,
Sandra
