Wound Care Billing - All you want to know
about!
Did you know? Nowadays, health care service
providers are getting a large reimbursement
percentage from wound care services. But
simultaneously, chronic wounds from chronic
diseases such as obesity diabetes are more
likely to damage the skin and can be covered only
under accurate wound care medical billing and
coding. In fact, other wound care treatments
like the cleansing, assessment, debridement,
reapplication and removal of the wound dressing
is also reported and reimbursed with appropriate
wound care billing coding techniques. Amidst
all these facts, the biggest issue is that many
in-house wound care billers and coders found
themselves stuck in the medical billing and
coding for the wound care and the various other
guidelines.
