Non-prs chr ulcer of right heel and midfoot w necros muscle

This code signifies a persistent, non-pressure-related open sore on the right heel or midfoot that has progressed to involve the muscle tissue, indicating significant tissue death. This type of ulcer is typically caused by underlying vascular insufficiency, neuropathy, or trauma, rather than sustained pressure.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a chronic, non-pressure ulcer located on the right heel or midfoot, and specifically notes necrosis extending into the muscle layer. This is often seen in patients with severe peripheral arterial disease, diabetic neuropathy, or other conditions leading to impaired tissue perfusion and healing.

• Ensure documentation specifies "non-pressure" to differentiate from pressure ulcers.
• Verify the anatomical location is precisely "right heel and midfoot" and not just "foot."
• Confirm the depth of necrosis extends to "muscle" to accurately capture the severity.
