When it comes to wound care, the path from injury to healing is rarely a straight line. Each patient brings unique challenges, from comorbidities like diabetes to the complex requirements of advanced therapies like Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). But just as critical as clinical care is the behind-the-scenes work: accurate documentation, correct coding, and the demonstration of medical necessity.
Whether you’re a clinician, coder, or administrator, understanding the full spectrum of wound care, from the bedside to the billing office, is essential to delivering excellent care and ensuring compliant reimbursement.
That’s why we’re excited to invite you to our upcoming webinar, Wounds to Wellness: A Patient’s Journey Through Care & Coding, available for viewing starting June 18, 2026.
Why This Matters
Wound care is more than just debridement and dressings. It’s about:
- Choosing the right intervention for the right wound at the right time.
- Clearly documenting clinical decisions to meet payer requirements.
- Knowing which CPT codes apply, and when.
- Justifying the use of HBOT for chronic, non-healing wounds, especially in diabetic patients.
Without solid documentation and coding practices, even the best clinical care can lead to denials, compliance issues, or worse, delayed healing for the patient.
What You’ll Learn
In this session, we’ll walk through:
- Types of wounds and treatment modalities.
- Documentation best practices to support medical necessity.
- The most commonly used CPT codes in wound care.
- How diabetes complicates healing, and what it means for your care plan.
- The clinical criteria and documentation required for HBOT.
- HBOT-specific coding rules to stay compliant.
A real-world case study following a patient from wound presentation to full recovery.
By the end, you’ll be better equipped to provide quality care while navigating the coding and reimbursement landscape with confidence.
Who Should Attend?
- Wound care physicians and nurses
- Coding and billing professionals
- Revenue cycle staff
- Hyperbaric therapy teams
- Clinical documentation specialists
Don’t miss this chance to sharpen your clinical and compliance knowledge in one powerful session.
