Pressure Sore Removal Over The Sitting Bone

Mississippi rates for HCPCS 15945

Surgical removal of a pressure sore over the ischium, the bone you sit on at the base of the buttock. The damaged skin and underlying dead tissue are cut away, and the prominent part of the bone beneath is trimmed back so it no longer presses the tissue against a chair or bed. The area is then closed so it can heal.
