We’ve updated payment policy for Unna boot or multilayer compression dressingBlue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has updated its payment policy to align with the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services’ National Correct Coding Initiative guidelines for the application of Unna boot or multilayer compression dressing when reported with a wound debridement procedure. CPT codes *29580 (Unna boot) and *29581 (application of multilayer compression system) aren’t separately payable when applied at the same site or extremity where CPT codes *11042-*11047 or *97597-*97598 wound debridement is performed. This payment policy aligns with NCCI procedure-to-procedure coding edits and statements contained in the NCCI Policy Manual for Medicare Services. |
