Q&A: CPT coding for wound debridement based on the depth

debridement is done that includes skin and subcutaneous tissue and muscle when the guideline is applied the deepest body part would be muscle. This guideline mirrors AHA guidance in coding to the deepest layer. Example: Excisional debridement of left trochanteric pressure ulcer, stage four to bone - To what level was the debridement performed? When documenting a debridement procedure, proper descriptors are essential to facilitate accurate coding, including the level of debridement.
