Medicare Usual Dressing Change Frequency for
Wound Care Supplies


The quantity and type of dressings dispensed at any one time must take
into account the current status of the wound(s), the likelihood of change,
and the recent use of dressings. Dressing needs may change frequently,
especially in the early phases of wound treatment and/or with heavily
draining wounds. Surgical dressings must be tailored to the specific
needs of an individual patient. The table below lists some coverage
guidelines and usual dressing change frequencies. The medical necessity
for more frequent dressing changes must be clearly documented in the
patient's medical record.

Glossary


The following is a list of common terms which are used in
describing wounds and the periwound skin.
Abrasion:Wearing away of the skin through some mechanical process


(friction or trauma).


Abscess:Accumulation of pus formed in tissue as a result of infection.
Alginate:A highly absorptive dressing derived from brown seaweed.
Cellulitis:Inflammation of the tissues indicating a local infection;


characterized by redness, edema and tenderness.


Collagen:Main supportive protein of the skin and connective tissue.
Debridement:Removal of foreign material and devitalized or


contaminated tissue from a wound.


Dehiscence:Separation of wound edges.
Denude:Removal or loss of superficial skin layers.
Edema:Swelling
Epidermis:Outermost layer of the skin.
Erythema:Diffuse redness of the skin.
Eschar:Thick, leathery black crust; it is nonviable tissue and is colonized


with bacteria.


Excoriation:Linear scratches on the skin.
Exudate:Wound fluid or drainage.
Friction:Rubbing that causes mechanical trauma to the skin.
Full-thickness:Tissue destruction extending through the dermis to


involve subcutaneous level and possibly muscle, fascia or bone.


Granulation:Formation of connective tissue and many new capillaries in


a full-thickness wound; typically appears as red and cobblestoned.


Hydrocolloid dressing:A category of wound dressings composed of


materials, such as gelatin, pectin and carboxymethylcellulose, that
provide a moist healing environment and adhere to the skin around
the wound.


Hydrogel:Water- or glycerin- Based gels, impregnated gauzes or sheet


dressings. Hydrogels maintain a moist healing environment and absorb a
minimal amount of wound exudate.


Hydrophilic:Attracting moisture.
Infection:Overgrowth of microorganisms in sufficient quantities to over-


whelm the body’s defenses.


Maceration:Softening of tissue by soaking in fluids.
Necrotic:Devitalized tissue; may appear yellow and moist, gray, or dark


and leathery.


Partial-thickness:Wounds that extend through the epidermis and may


involve the dermis; these wounds heal by re-epithelialization.


Periwound:The area immediately around the wound.
Pus:Thick fluid composed of leukocytes, bacteria, and cellular debris.
Shear:Sliding of skin over subcutaneous tissues and bones


obstructing cutaneous capillaries, which may lead to ischemia.

Pressure Ulcer:
Stage 1:An observable pressure-related


alteration of intact skin with indicators, as
compared to an adjacent or opposite area on the
body which may include changes in one or more of
the following: skin temperature (warmth or cool-
ness), tissue consistency (firm or boggy feel), and/or
sensation (pain, itching).
The ulcer appears as a defined area of persistent redness in lightly pig-
mented skin, whereas in darker skin tones, the ulcer may appear with
persistent red, blue, or purple hues.


(NPUAP, 2003)


Stage 2:


Partial thickness skin loss involving epidermis,
dermis, or both. The ulcer is superficial and
presents clinically as an abrasion, blister or
shallow crater.


(NPUAP, 2003)


Stage 3:Full thickness skin loss involving damage


to, or necrosis of, subcutaneous tissue that may
extend down to, but not through, underlying
fascia. The ulcer presents clinically as a deep
crater with or without undermining of adjacent
tissue.


(NPUAP, 2003)


Stage 4:Full thickness skin loss with extensive


destruction, tissue necrosis, or damage to
muscle, bone, or supporting structures
(e.g., tendon, joint, capsule). Undermining
and sinus tracts also may be associated with
Stage 4 pressure ulcers.


(NPUAP, 2003)


Sinus Tract:A course or pathway which can extend in any direction


from the wound base; results in dead space with potential for
abscess formation.


Slough:Stringy, necrotic tissue; usually yellow.
Strip:Removal of epidermis by mechanical means, usually tape.
Ulcer:Loss of epidermis/dermis or mucous membrane with


definite margins.


Undermine:Skin edges of a wound that have lost supporting tissue


under intact skin.


Unstageable Pressure Ulcer:Covered with eschar or slough which


prohibits complete assessment of the wound.


Wound:A break in the integrity of the skin; an injury to the body which


causes a disruption of the normal continuity of the body structures.


Wound Margin:Rim or border of a wound.

Skin Structure:


Theepidermis, which is the outermost layer of the skin, is characterized
as follows: avascular, varies in thickness (depending on body location), a
dry structure which sheds cells and replaces itself every 4 to 6 weeks;
approximately the thickness of a piece of plastic wrap.
Thedermisis located directly beneath the epidermis and is
characterized as follows: provides strength and structural support
through a vascular network of connective tissue blood vessels, nerves,
hair and nails. Sebaceous glands and sweat glands originate from this
layer which is thicker than the epidermis.
Below the dermis is thesubcutaneous tissuewhich is composed
of major vessels, lymphatics, fat and connective tissue. This area
provides insulation and nutritional support for the skin. Located below
the subcutaneous tissue are fascia, muscles, tendons and bone. The
thickness of the dermis and subcutaneous layers vary from person
to person and on different parts of the body.


Types of Ulcers:
Pressure Ulcers:Any lesion of the skin caused by unrelieved pressure


resulting in damage to underlying tissue. Pressure ulcers usually occur
over bony prominences such as the heel, coccyx or trochanter which are
in contact with a surface, such as a bed, wheelchair, shoe or cast. When
pressure is not relieved, tissue ischemia develops and a pressure ulcer
results. Most pressure ulcers are preventable. Therefore, early risk
assessment, skin care, attention to patient support surfaces and
education are essential.


Venous Ulcers:These are the most common type of lower-leg ulcers in


ambulatory people. The underlying cause involves vein damage or
an incompetent calf muscle pump action which leads to venous
hypertension. As a result, the blood pools in the lower extremities
causing edema and leakage of fibrinogen and other blood products
into the tissues. Trauma to the area or increased pressure within the
tissues results in ulceration.


Arterial Ulcers:Arterial ulcers result from chronic or acute arterial


insufficiency to the skin and subcutaneous tissue of the lower
extremities. The most common cause is a progressive disease:
atherosclerosis. The precipitating event leading to ulceration is
usually trauma, such as a bumped toe or tight shoes. Arterial ulcers
may occur alone or in combination with diabetes, venous stasis and
numerous other conditions. Multidisciplinary management of these
patients with early intervention and close monitoring is key to
prevention of more serious complications.


Neuropathic Ulcers:Neuropathic ulcers may occur in individuals with


diabetes, spinal cord injury, Hansen’s Disease, or other conditions that
result in loss of sensation in the legs and feet. Diabetic foot ulcers are
most commonly caused by peripheral neuropathy and peripheral vascular
disease. Multidisciplinary management of these patients with early
intervention and close monitoring is key to prevention of more
serious complications.
