Does Medicare pay for wound vacs?

We haven't had a lot of luck with wound vac's either. Medicare refuses to pay. Most other private carriers also. When we started researching this a couple of years ago, we could not charge a wound vac and anything else on the same date of service. This was mainly for wound care. We were allowed either an E/M or a wound vac or a debridement. If the patient had a wound vac placed and a debridement on the same wound, the debridement was charged. If an E/M and a wound vac, a decision had to be made as to whether the E/M or a vac would be charged unless the documentation was over and above having the vac placed, as in a first time visit (but not usually because the vacs are usually ordered) then we would add a 25 modifier to the E/M, but as I said this was rare.. So, as I have read this, also, is mostly coder choice. We do not charge vacs and anything else on the same date of service. Documentation hasn't been sufficient for us to change that yet. This is one of those gray areas in our black and white world. Good luck!
