2. A non-healing wound, such as an ulcer, is not coded with an injury code beginning with the letter S. Four common codes are L97-, “non-pressure ulcers”; L89-, “pressure ulcers”; I83-, “varicose veins with ulcers”; and I70.
A non-healing wound is a wound that doesn't heal within five to eight weeks, even though you've been following your provider's instructions to take care of it. This can be very serious, because it can become infected and lead to an illness or even the loss of a limb.
