What is skin debridement?

Surgical removal of dead or infected skin and tissue so a wound can heal, in patients without other complicating conditions. The stay includes the procedure, ongoing wound care, and often antibiotics.

Skin Debridement is billed under Medicare's MS-DRG 572 (without complications), classified within the Skin diagnostic category. Hospitals publish gross charges per DRG under the federal Hospital Price Transparency Rule, but actual cost depends on insurance: insurers negotiate substantial discounts, Medicare and Medicaid pay fixed rates, and uninsured patients can often qualify for cash-pay discounts. Use the gross charge as a benchmark when comparing hospitals; a facility that lists a procedure at twice the price of another tends to charge higher rates across the board.
