Wound Vac

If a wound vac is applied to a patient in the office setting within the 90 day global period, is the 97605 billable with a 58 modifier as staged or is it considered part of the global package.

Thanks for your help in this matter.

Negative wound pressure therapy is a procedure that manages wound exudates and promotes wound closure. The vacuum cleanses the wound and stimulates the wound bed, reduces localized edema and improves local oxygen supply. many payers will include in Global period as a dressing change.
