First time poster and newbie. I am new to wound care and have a question regarding the use of a wound vac on an incision that has opened back up and remained as an open wound. From everything I have read a wound vac cannot be coded on a closed incision, which is what this started out as and only a section has opened. The wound vac is placed over the entire incision along with cellular tissue. My question..is either or both of these to be coded or are they global and considered a dressing change?
I hope I am making sense because I feel so jumbled and lost. Thank you for any responses!
