Wound VAC billing question

[Guest guest]

Our hospital has installed new facility-specific codes to bill for our

wound VAC treatments being provided. However, we need to attach a

price to each of these codes. One code being for " PT NEG PRESSURE

WOUND TX < =50 CM " and the other code being " PT NEG PRESSURE WOUND TX

> 50 CM " . I have no idea how much each of these procedures should

cost and, therefore, I don't know what kind of price we should ask

for. Can someone give us a ballpark figure?

Thanks!

even Medicare has yet to establish pricing/reimbursement for these procedures.

I understand that APTA is working with the RUC committee to try to establish a

work value for 2006. You might call APTA to see what kind of data they are

using.
