gangrene
I hope that someone can help me with a coding question. The patient has gangrene/cellulitis of LLE due to vascular insufficiency and growing pseudomonas. My question is since I96 includes cellulitis I would not code cellulitis separately correct? I have I96, I87.2, L97.823, B96.5
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you
