The procedure code for the treatment of a pressure ulcer typically depends on the specific treatment provided and the ulcer's stage. Commonly used codes include those from the Current Procedural Terminology (CPT) system, such as 97597 or 97598, which refer to debridement of the ulcer. For accurate coding, it’s essential to consult the latest coding guidelines or documentation specific to the treatment performed.
An ischial ulcer is a medical condition (disease)that requires an ICD-9 code; not a CPT code, which is used for medical procedures.707.04 (pressure ulcer, hip)707.20 (pressure ulcer, unspecified stage) ** An additional code is required to identify the stage of the pressure ulcer (707.20-707.25).
The ICD-9 code for an ulcer of the abdominal skin is 707.10, which specifically refers to "ulcer of skin, unspecified site." If the ulcer is more specifically defined, such as being a pressure ulcer, different codes may apply. Always consult the latest coding guidelines for the most accurate and detailed information.

For coding an excision of a sacral pressure ulcer with ostectomy and primary closure, you would typically use the appropriate CPT code for the excision of the ulcer, such as 15734 for the excision and closure of a sacral ulcer. Additionally, you may need to include codes for any related procedures, such as an ostectomy if specifically performed. It’s important to verify with the current coding guidelines and payer requirements for accurate coding.

The CPT code for the excision of a sacral pressure ulcer with osteotomy and primary closure is generally 15734, which pertains to the excision of a skin lesion with adjacent tissue transfer. Additionally, if osteotomy is specifically involved, you may need to reference codes like 27601 for the excision of a bone cyst or osteotomy procedures. It's vital to review the specific details of the procedure and consult the latest CPT coding guidelines for accurate coding.
