		As mentioned in Part 1 of this series on integumentary system CPT coding, a significant proportion of invasive procedures performed in hospital outpatient or physician office settings involve the integumentary system, which is why it is crucial that the coder thoroughly understand these services before taking the CCS or CCS-P exam.
		As indicated in Part I of this article series, debridement services that are provided in conjunction with wound repairs are not coded separately unless the documentation specifies that gross contamination requires prolonged cleansing or when appreciable amounts of devitalized tissue is removed.
		Coders should also be aware that while the vast majority of wound repair services codes are contained in the integumentary system portion of CPT, if the tissue repaired is different, necessitating differing techniques, different codes may be necessary.
