Stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers
Do we continue to code Stage 3 and 4 pressure ulcers if they are not an issue but are a risk for opening again? Or as coders do we drop them from the M1023 coding list?

we do not code them
No, they are not coded. Once closed/healed, omit them from coding. you will capture the risk of PU on OASIS in M1302.
