About G0329: Electromagnetic therapy for chronic ulcers

Reports timed electromagnetic treatment of specified chronic ulcers that have not shown measurable healing after 30 days of conventional care.

G0329 covers electromagnetic treatment applied to one or more chronic ulcer areas as part of a therapy plan of care. The qualifying wounds include stage III or IV pressure ulcers and arterial, diabetic, or venous stasis ulcers that have not shown measurable signs of healing after 30 days of conventional care. Wound-care clinicians and therapy practitioners may provide the service in settings such as an outpatient therapy department or wound clinic. This is a treatment modality, not a code for removing devitalized tissue.

Report the service per 15 minutes. Documentation should identify the ulcer site and type, pressure-ulcer stage when applicable, prior conventional care, lack of measurable healing, treatment time, and the therapy plan. CMS treats G0329 as a therapy service, so a professional component modifier does not apply. Under the therapy multiple procedure payment reduction, CMS reduces practice expense for the second and each later therapy unit furnished to the patient on the same day.

G0329 billing questions

Which wounds qualify for G0329?

The code is for stage III or IV pressure ulcers and arterial, diabetic, or venous stasis ulcers that have not shown measurable healing after 30 days of conventional care, under a therapy plan.

How are units counted?

Report G0329 per 15 minutes of electromagnetic treatment. Keep the treatment time in the record to support the units billed.

Should modifier 26 be appended?

No. CMS identifies G0329 as a therapy service for which the professional component modifier does not apply.

Does the therapy multiple procedure reduction affect G0329?

Yes. CMS reduces practice expense for the second and later therapy units furnished to the same patient on the same day.

How does G0329 differ from G0281?

G0329 describes electromagnetic treatment. G0281 describes unattended electrical stimulation for specified chronic ulcers.

Can G0329 be used for ulcer debridement?

No. It reports electromagnetic treatment; selective or nonselective tissue removal is a different service and requires the applicable debridement code.

Where these rates come from

FeeBase calculates base physician payments from CMS work, practice-expense, and malpractice RVUs, adjusted by each locality’s geographic indices and the applicable conversion factor. Unavailable or separately priced services are labeled rather than assigned a made-up amount.
