What is Irrigation and debridement of wounds?
Irrigation and Debridement simply means the doctor (in my experiences this would be a surgeon) reopens an already present wound which seems to be infected, washes it out with a sterile solution, removes any dead tissue that is causing the infection, and closes the wound again. It is helpful for facilitating the healthy regrowth of tissue in the area and restoring normal function (relevant if the site is a joint or a hand). A common population to perform this on are prior burn victims, as burns have a tendency to get infected and close slowly, but it can be done for a wide variety of injuries.

Cpt code split thickness skin graft?
The correct CPT code for split-thickness autograft is determined by anatomic site and body surface area of the recipient. 15100 would be coded for the application of a graft to the trunk, arms, legs; affecting 100 sq cm or less body area in a patient older than 10 years of age, 15120 would be applicable for split-thickness graft to the face, scalp, eyelids, mouth, neck, ears, orbits, genitalia, hands, feet, and/or multiple digits; covering 100 sq cm or less in patient 10 years or older. If properly documented by the physician, a code may be reported in addition to the skin graft code describing surgical preparation of the recipient wound site, 15002 or 15004 depending on the anatomic site, or possibly a wound debridement code ranging 11000 - 11047 depending on the type of wound and depth of tissue removed.
