The post Don’t Stumble Over Podiatry Coding appeared first on AAPC Knowledge Center.
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

99212 – is this separately reportable, why or why not?
11720 – is this separately reportable, why or why not?
G0127-XU – is this separately reportable, why or why not?
In your opinion, what would be the final coding. See attachment.
