Specialties › Wound Care
Wound care is billed on measurements. Depth of tissue removed, surface area treated, wound size before and after — these determine the code, and when they are missing from the note the claim is either denied or billed at a fraction of its value. Skin substitutes add a second layer of risk: high-cost products with strict coverage policy, product-specific codes and unforgiving documentation requirements.
These are the issues that repeat every month in wound care practices — and the ones we fix at the source rather than reworking claim by claim.
Selective debridement and surgical debridement of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle or bone are entirely different codes. Notes that describe debridement without specifying the deepest tissue removed cannot be billed correctly.
Debridement codes are billed by area with add-on units beyond the first block. Missing measurements systematically underpay every wound visit.
Skin substitute application is governed by coverage policy on wound type, duration, conservative care and number of applications, and each product bills under its own code with wastage rules.
HBO is covered only for specific indications, with documentation of the qualifying condition and prior failed therapy. Non-covered indications are denied outright.
Wound care is repetitive by nature. Payers expect documented progress or a documented change in plan; static notes across months invite denials and audits.
Listed for context only — this is not billing advice, and payer policy varies. Our certified coders work to AAPC and AHIMA standards.
We root-cause denials by payer and procedure, then fix the upstream workflow so the same denial stops recurring.
Your account is worked by people who bill wound care every day — not a general pool learning your rules on your claims.
Relentless follow-up on every claim, with aged A/R worked rather than written off.
Performance-based pricing — a percentage of what we collect. Stay because the results are good, not because you are locked in.
We run parallel with your current process until the transition is verifiably clean.
Our certified coders work every claim; AI tools help them catch more before submission.
Strict PHI controls, access limits and staff training across the whole workflow.
Almost always because the note does not state the deepest tissue removed and the surface area treated. The code is chosen from those two facts. We audit documentation against the codes billed and tell you exactly what is missing.
Yes, including product-specific Q-codes, application codes by site and area, and the wastage reporting these high-cost products require. This is one of the highest-value and most frequently denied areas of wound care.
Yes. We bill provider-based wound centers and independent wound care practices, applying the correct site-of-service rules to each.
Yes. Our A/R analysis focuses on debridement downcoding and skin substitute denials, which is usually where the recoverable revenue sits in a wound care practice.
★★★★★Our A/R days dropped from 58 to 31 in one quarter. First time in years I actually trust my numbers.
— Sarah M., Practice Manager
★★★★★Denials were killing us. First-pass acceptance went up fast, and they tell us why a claim failed — not just rework it quietly.
— Michael R., Billing Lead
A no-obligation A/R analysis. We review your aging, denial patterns and coding mix, then show you exactly where the recoverable revenue is.
