Hello,
I have a procedure that I am unsure of what the appropriate CPT would be. The procedure note reads as follows:
After cleaning area with alcohol the eschar was removed with forceps. A moderate amount of purulent material was expressed.
The encoder is leading me to CPT 15002 but I don't think that is correct. The dictation states drainage of axilla abscess. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
