I have a Medicaid pt who presents needing wound debridement of a wound on the bottom (plantar side of the left foot).
He also needs all of his toe nails to be debrided due to lack of sensation and the incurvation /deformity of the nails puts him at a
high risk. (He has CMTX G60.0, G62.89 G57.32 )

When I checked the Podiatry coding Companion it indicates that 97597 and 11720-11721 is a mutually exclusive edit.

So my question is can I bill for the nail debridement of the right foot?
And if so what is the best modifier? He has Caresource.

Thank you so much,
I appreciate your help,
Debbie Ashton
