Guest guest Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 We are looking to start a foot and ankle wound care clinic in an outpatient setting of a small hospital. I am fortunate to have an RN who is a Certified Wound Specialist to partner with me in this venture. My problem is that I do not know what part(s) of wound care is reimbursable especially under Medicare. The nurse comes from a LTC and inpatient background and is not able to do debridement so I will be doing this part. I know that selective (sharp) debridement is covered as are whirlpools, but we will not be using many whirlpools and I do not know what else is covered, I assume that dressing changes and wound checking are not. If anyone can provide me with a comprehensive wound care program that is reimbursable with references I would really appreciate it. You can email me off list if you desire. tcox@...
