Kodia Chat
- Which TARDOC codes for a diabetic patient with a foot wound?
- Which qualifications are required to bill AK.05.0020 (chronic care management, diabetes)?
- How to bill if the foot wound requires a skin graft or more complex reconstruction?
- Which ICD-10 codes to document a diabetic foot with a wound?
No flat rate exists for this scenario: billing is entirely fee-for-service under TARDOC.
1. Medical consultation
| Code | Description | Points | Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| AA.00.0010 | Medical consultation, first 5 min | 19.20 | Base code |

2. Wound treatment
The MK.15 codes apply according to the nature of the wound. They take place in the surgical examination and treatment room — a functional unit distinct from the consultation room.

| Code | Description | Points | Type |

This code notably covers:
- Adapted advice on diabetes and its complications
- Clinical foot examination, vibration test (tuning fork), monofilament test
- Training on hypoglycemia, diet, physical activity, insulin
- Reserved for paramedical staff (federal certificate in ambulatory-medicine coordination + odamed module)

- Maximum 450 units per 360 days
- Not applicable in telemedicine or in the patient's absence
5. Paramedical wound care (alternative)
| Code | Description | Points |
|---|---|---|
| AK.00.0080 | Wound care and dressing change by paramedical staff, per 1 min | 1.73/min |
Cumulation — summary
| Pair | Result |
|---|---|
| AA.00.0010 + MK.15.0060 | ✓ Billable together |
| AA.00.0010 + AK.05.0020 | ✓ Billable together |
| MK.15.0060 + AK.00.0080 | ✓ Billable together |

| MK.15.0070 | ≤5 | + Finishing (dressing + instructions) |
Alternatives
CA.00.0010 / CA.00.0020 Family-physician consultation (same points as AA, but reserved for the qualifications general internal medicine, pediatrics, etc.). Preferable when the physician holds the corresponding qualification.
MK.15.0030 Use instead of MK.15.0060 when the wound is acute and requires primary closure (suture), rather than debridement of an open chronic wound.
AK.00.0080 Relevant for later wound-care sessions performed by paramedical staff only, without a simultaneous medical consultation.
