wound/lymphadema and compression wrapping

[Guest guest]

Thank you to all who responded to my wound question regarding how to

code for bandaging change and compression wrapping.

To those of you who responded (and others if you have input), are you

using the 29580- " Compression bandaging " to bill for both UE and LE

compression dressings?

We treat lymphadema patients and often apply compression dressings to

the UE in some patients, as well as the LE in other patients. Would

29580 be appropriate when applying compression wraps to the UE? It

seems to me that it would, since 29580 does not specify a body part.

Thanks for your input.
