Most non-excisional debridement procedures are classified to the root operation 'Extraction' (pulling or stripping out or off all or a portion of a body part by the use of force).”
Cleaning, brushing, scrubbing, washing, irrigating of wound; chemical or enzymatic treatment; or minor trimming/scraping to remove fragments of dead tissue. Debridement is usually only to level of subcutaneous tissue.

If an excisional debridement the code would be 0HBMXZZ Excision of right foot skin, external approach. Example: Excisional debridement of skin, subcutaneous tissue, and muscle of buttocks. (Accounting for laterality), 0KBP3ZZ Excision of left hip muscle, percutaneous approach.
There are two main categories of debridement: selective and non- selective. Selective methods are when only necrotic, non-viable tissue is removed from the wound bed. Non-selective methods remove both necrotic tissue and viable living tissue.
Most non-excisional debridement procedures will be classified to the root operation of “Extraction” (pulling or stripping out or off all of a portion of a body part by the use of force). Debridement using a Versajet Debrider is reported as a non-excisional debridement.

Non-selective Debridement: Debridement is nonselective when the method doesn't discriminate between removing devitalized tissue and healthy tissue. Surgical debridement and mechanical debridement are the two most well known methods of nonselective debridement.
CPT codes 11042, 11043, 11044, 11045, 11046, and 11047 are used to report surgical removal (debridement) of devitalized tissue from wounds. Use appropriate modifiers when more than one wound is debrided on the same day.
Wound debridement codes (not associated with fractures) are reported with CPT codes 11042-11047. Wound debridements are reported by the depth of tissue that is removed and the surface area of the wound.
These include surgical debridement, biological debridement, enzymatic debridements, and autolytic debridement.
For excisional debridement of muscle or fascia, coders would report CPT code 11043 (debridement, muscle or fascia [includes epidermis, dermis, and subcutaneous tissue, if performed]; first 20 sq. cm or less) for the first 20 sq. cm and add-on code 11046 (debridement, muscle or fascia; each additional 20 sq.
Regarded as the most common reason for hospital stays among people with diabetes, a diabetic foot ulcer (DFU) is an open sore caused by neuropathic (nerve) and vascular (blood vessel) complications of the disease. Typically located on the plantar surface, or bottom/top of toes, pad of foot, or heel of foot, these complex, ...
L97.91 -Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of right lower leg. L97.92 – Non-pressure chronic ulcer of unspecified part of left lower leg. According to the American Podiatric Medical Association, about 14 to 24 percent of Americans with diabetic foot ulcers have amputations.
The most common risk factors for ulcer formation include – diabetic neuropathy, structural foot deformity, kidney disease, obesity and peripheral arterial occlusive disease. The condition can be effectively prevented if the underlying conditions causing it are diagnosed early and treated correctly.
Half shoes, therapeutic shoes, custom insoles, and the use of felted foam are other alternative methods to off-load wounds located on the forefoot. Dressings– Wounds and ulcers heal faster and have a lower risk of infection if they are kept covered and moist, using dressings and topically-applied medications.
The risk of foot ulceration and limb amputations increases with age and duration of diabetes. In the United States, about 82,000 amputations are performed each year on persons with diabetes; half of those ages 65 years or older. Treatment for diabetic foot ulcers varies depending on their causes.
According to the American Podiatric Medical Association (APMA), approximately 15 percent of people with diabetes suffer from foot ulcers. Of those who develop a foot ulcer, about 6 percent will be hospitalized due to serious infections or other ulcer-related complications.
Neuropathic ulcers– occur where there is peripheral diabetic neuropathy, but no ischemia caused by peripheral artery disease. This type of foot infection generally occurs on the plantar aspect of the foot under the metatarsal heads or on the plantar aspects of the toes.
An excisional debridement of the skin or subcutaneous tissue is the surgical removal or cutting away of such tissue, necrosis, or slough and is classified to the root operation Excision. Excisional debridement involves the use of a scalpel to remove devitalized tissue.
Debridement can be categorized as excisional or non- excisional.”. The same Coding Clinic further directs the coder to code excisional debridement when either “the provider documents ‘excisional debridement’ in the body of the operative report, and/or the documentation meets the root operation definition of ‘Excision.’”.
