Description:
Measure 47 Advance Care Plan measures the percentage of patients aged 65 years and older who YOU HAVE ASKED if they have an advance care plan or surrogate decision maker. The discussion must be documented in the patients medical record. The patient having an advance care plan is not required, only that it be discussed during the visit.
“I have a patient with a nonhealing pressure wound on his right ankle and his right heel. I applied a skin graft substitute to both sites. I used a single piece and shared it between the two sites. The ICD-10 code I used for the ankle is L89.513. The ICD 10 code I used for the heel is L89.613. For the application codes I utilized CPT code 15271-RT for L89.513 and CPT code 15275-RT for L89.613. The NCCI Edits does not show any conflict, but I am wondering whether a -51 is necessary. I also used the correct Q code for the product.”
