Non-prs chr ulc of r heel/midft w msl invl w/o evd of necr

This code signifies a persistent, non-pressure-related open sore on the right heel or midfoot that extends into the muscle tissue. It specifically indicates that there is no visible evidence of tissue death (necrosis) within the ulcer.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states a chronic, non-pressure ulcer affecting the right heel or midfoot, with involvement of the underlying muscle. This typically occurs in patients with conditions like peripheral artery disease, diabetes, or venous insufficiency.

• Ensure documentation specifies "non-pressure" to differentiate from pressure ulcers.
• Verify the ulcer depth extends to muscle, but explicitly states "without necrosis."
• Always sequence this code after the underlying systemic condition causing the ulcer (e.g., diabetes mellitus with foot ulcer).
