Outpatient wound care coding is intricate for several reasons. One key factor is that wound care can occur across various types of facilities for a single patient. For instance, a patient might receive initial wound treatment in a hospital and then continue care at an outpatient center after discharge. Each of these encounters requires precise billing, with codes that accurately reflect the specific location of the care provided.
