Wound care
About 97607: Disposable negative pressure wound therapy
Report this service for applying disposable, nonpowered negative-pressure wound therapy to one or more wounds with a combined surface area of 50 cm² or less.
This service covers applying a disposable, nonpowered negative-pressure system to one or more wounds, with a combined treated surface area no greater than 50 cm². It may be used for wound management when negative pressure is selected to support drainage and healing, including care of chronic ulcers or postoperative wounds. The clinician applies the system and topical materials, assesses the wound, and gives instructions for continuing care; provision of the disposable equipment is included.
Select this code when the system is nonpowered and the total surface area treated during the session is 50 cm² or less. Use the related powered-equipment code when the service uses DME, or the larger-area code when nonpowered therapy covers more than 50 cm². Document the device type, wound dimensions and total area, assessment, application, and care instructions. Application, topical materials, wound assessment, and instructions are elements of this service.
