Non-prs chr ulc unsp heel/midft w bne invl w/o evd of necr

This code signifies a persistent, non-pressure-related ulcer located on an unspecified heel or midfoot, where the ulceration extends down to and involves the bone. Importantly, there is no necrotic tissue present within the ulcer bed. This indicates a deep tissue loss affecting the skeletal structure of the foot.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a chronic, non-pressure ulcer of the heel or midfoot, with a confirmed depth reaching bone. This is appropriate for ulcers not caused by sustained pressure, such as those due to vascular insufficiency or neuropathy, where imaging or probing confirms bone involvement. Documentation should explicitly rule out necrosis.

• Ensure documentation specifies "chronic" and "non-pressure" to differentiate from acute or pressure ulcers.
• Confirm the ulcer location is specifically the heel or midfoot; avoid using for other foot locations.
• Verify that bone involvement is clearly documented, and the absence of necrosis is noted.
