What is the inpatient equivalent to the National Correct Coding Initiative edits? The CMS site advises that NCCI applies to Part B only. What are the name of the edits that apply to Part A – inpatient hospital?

Need Florida Medicaid Equivalent of CPT
Hello there,
We had a patient that had a stomach surgery on 10/10/17 with a G-Tube insertion. Patient presented back to the hospital on 10/20/17 with an infected surgical wound. On 10/21/17 our surgeon reopned the surgical incision, packed it, and ordered a wound vac placed. The Wound Care Nurse put a VAC in later. We want to bill out 12021, but the state of Florida Medicaid does not recognize this code. Is there a similar code that can be used?
Thank you
