The CGS J15 Contractor Medical Directors have given me permission to share the slide deck that was presented on December 20th, which was a training session on the upcoming “skin sub” LCD. This PDF of the slide deck reviews the LCD requirements for the treatment of Diabetic Foot Ulcers (DFUs) and Venous Leg Ulcers (VLUs), the components of a comprehensive patient assessment and implemented treatment plan, the criteria for use of skin subs in DFUs and VLUs, the number of applications allowed, the use of the KX modifier, the coverage criteria for repeat applications, documentation of wastage, the treatment of multiple wounds, AND, starting on slide 20 and continuing through slide 47, fascinating Q&A.
Thank you to CGS Jurisdiction 15 Medical Directors for giving me permission to share the deck.
