Non-prs chr ulcer of right heel and midft lmt to brkdwn skin

This code signifies a persistent open sore on the right heel or midfoot that is not caused by pressure. The ulceration involves only the epidermal and dermal layers, indicating a superficial wound. This condition often arises from underlying vascular insufficiency, neuropathy, or trauma.

Apply this code when documentation specifies a chronic, non-pressure ulcer located on the right heel or midfoot, and the depth is explicitly stated as limited to skin breakdown. This is appropriate for ulcers described as superficial, partial-thickness, or involving only the epidermis and dermis.

• Ensure documentation clearly states "non-pressure" to differentiate from pressure ulcers.
• Verify the laterality (right) and specific anatomical site (heel and midfoot) are documented.
• Confirm the ulcer depth is limited to skin breakdown; deeper ulcers require different codes.
