Nurses in our facility do the wound vac changes as well. I would not code it in section P but in section M. If it has been surgically cleaned, I  would also count it as a surgical wound.

Question for the group? Does a wound vac qualify a resident for skilled nursing it would be changed every other day and take about 30 min by a PT.  And would you count min in the P section?

Thanks Lisa
