Do Not Limit Where Ulcer Debridements Can Be Performed!

Medicare is a national program administered on a local level by Medicare Administrative Contractors (MACs). This brief report focuses on the potentially negative outcomes that may ensue as a result of MACs limiting the place of service for ulcer debridement. With the information included herein, the hope is that this problem can be addressed by all parties involved in wound care, including medical directors at these MACs, to remove this limitation impacting patient care.
