Non-prs chr ulcer of groin with bone invl w/o evd of necr

This code signifies a persistent, non-pressure-related ulceration located in the groin region that has progressed to involve the underlying bone. Importantly, there is no indication of necrotic tissue within the ulcer or surrounding area. This condition typically arises from underlying vascular insufficiency, neuropathy, or other systemic diseases rather than direct pressure.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a chronic, non-pressure ulcer in the groin and imaging or surgical findings confirm bone involvement. The absence of necrosis must also be explicitly documented. This code is appropriate for ulcers that have failed to heal over an extended period.

• Ensure documentation differentiates between pressure and non-pressure ulcers.
• Verify the specific anatomical location is the "groin" and not a contiguous area.
• Confirm bone involvement is present and necrosis is explicitly absent to avoid miscoding.
