Ulcer notes live or die on measurements
Length, width, depth, drainage, and Wagner/UT grade have to match the photo. ‘Ulcer improving’ is not a wound note.
Podiatry
Diabetic foot ulcers, nails, and orthoses — Wagner grade, offloading, and DME prior-auths drafted from the chair so the wound photo has a matching note.
The problem
Length, width, depth, drainage, and Wagner/UT grade have to match the photo. ‘Ulcer improving’ is not a wound note.
11720-range work is denied when the note does not say which nails and that it was a debridement, not a cosmetic trim.
Medical necessity for AFO/orthoses needs biomechanical findings. A SOAP without gait and deformity detail fails the DME MAC.
How Augustun fits

Custom foot-orthosis notes include casting/scan method and deformity findings.
Diabetic foot and ulcer codes plus debridement CPTs are proposed from documented depth and site.
Diabetic ulcer notes, orthosis evaluations, foot/ankle radiograph reports, and imaging/DME prior-auth.
