Effective Feb 6, 2012
Published Feb 6, 2012
Last Reviewed Mar 18, 2014
This chart presents four wound care debridement codes and their corresponding denial rates for each year from 2000 until 2010 based on CMS claims data. NOTE: CMS claims data for 97597 was not available before 2004. The data from 2004 was negligible because the code was not in effect until 2005 and all claims that billed 97597 that year were automatically denied.
