Common Wound Care Billing Codes
Wound care billing often involves CPT codes for active wound care and debridement. Our coding team reviews the medical documentation to select codes that accurately represent the services performed and the level of tissue removed.
| CPT Code | Common Use |
|---|---|
| 97597 | Selective debridement of devitalized tissue, first 20 sq cm or less |
| 97598 | Each additional 20 sq cm or part thereof for selective debridement |
| 97602 | Non-selective debridement of wound(s), when applicable |
| 11042 | Debridement involving subcutaneous tissue, first 20 sq cm or less |
| 11043 | Debridement involving muscle and/or fascia, first 20 sq cm or less |
| 11044 | Debridement involving bone, first 20 sq cm or less |
The appropriate code depends on the documented procedure, tissue removed, wound characteristics, and applicable payer requirements. CMS notes that 97597–97598 and 11042–11047 should not generally be reported together for the same wound, and the code should reflect the level of tissue actually debrided.
