Summary
Louisiana Medicaid has issued a revised wound care policy that defines wound care management and healing processes for various wound types including surgical incisions, pressure ulcers, traumatic injuries, and chronic wounds requiring complex long-term care. The policy emphasizes tailored treatment to optimize healing and reduce complications, but the summary-only format provides limited specific billing guidance.
Action Required
Immediately: Billing and clinical teams must obtain the full policy document from the provided URL (https://dctm.humana.com/Mentor/Web/v.aspx?objectID=090009298a57e8c8) to identify specific billing codes, prior authorization requirements, coverage limitations, and documentation standards for wound care services under Louisiana Medicaid. Do not bill wound care claims until the complete policy is reviewed. Contact Humana Louisiana Medicaid directly to clarify effective date, covered procedures, required modifiers, and any prior authorization workflows. Update internal wound care billing guidelines and provider training materials once full policy details are available.
