Question 1

How do I create a superbill for wound care?

Accepted Answer

Document the visit in WoundGenie, review the charges suggested from the treatments you documented, and download a superbill PDF. The superbill carries the reviewed CPT, HCPCS and ICD-10 codes for your billing team.

Question 2

What CPT codes are used for wound debridement?

Accepted Answer

Debridement codes depend on depth and the area treated. For example, CPT 11042 covers subcutaneous debridement of the first 20 sq cm or less, and add-on code 11045 covers each additional 20 sq cm. WoundGenie suggests codes from your documented treatment and attaches add-on codes to their primary codes for your review.

Question 3

Can WoundGenie export an 837P file?

Accepted Answer

Yes. WoundGenie exports 837P files and superbill PDFs from reviewed charges. Your billing team or clearinghouse uses the file to submit the claim; WoundGenie does not submit claims itself.

Question 4

How are charges suggested from documentation?

Accepted Answer

Charge suggestions start from the treatments documented in the encounter and use a CPT and HCPCS code catalog with suggestion rules your team can review. You accept or adjust every suggested charge before it goes into the handoff.

Question 5

How does WoundGenie check code pairings?

Accepted Answer

WoundGenie attaches add-on codes to their primary codes and flags mutually exclusive code pairs for review. ICD-10 diagnosis codes are validated before the billing handoff, so issues are visible before files leave your team.

Question 6

Who submits the wound care claim?

Accepted Answer

Your billing team or clearinghouse submits the claim. WoundGenie prepares the handoff: reviewed charges, a superbill PDF and an 837P file built from the documented visit.
