What CMS assigns to L97
112 of the 168 codes group to Wound; 56 are assigned no clinical group. 112 of the 168 count toward the Diseases of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries with ulceration and non-pressure, chronic ulcers comorbidity subgroup; 56 are assigned none. 112 of the 168 can lead a claim. CMS attaches a code-first note to all 168.
- Diseases of arteries, arterioles, and capillaries with ulceration and non-pressure, chronic ulcers: can award the low comorbidity tier as a secondary diagnosis.
