Wound Debridement, Smaller Area

North Carolina rates for HCPCS 97597

A provider removes dead, damaged, or infected tissue from a wound to help promote healing, using tools such as scissors, a scalpel, or other instruments. This version covers a smaller area of a single wound. Clearing away this unhealthy tissue helps the wound heal properly and reduces the risk of infection.
