Scenario: Patient has wound on buttock for 3 months. Said it waxes and wanes, today more tender. Dad has had multiple abscesses, not culture proven but hghly suspicious for MRSA> No fevers or chills. Vitals taken. Patient in no acute distress. She has a very small 3-4mm area of folliculitis with a tiny degree of purulence. I lanced it with 23-gauge and cultured the secretions. Going to cover with Bactrim as well as Keflex. Cultures pending.
Should this be coded with just an E&M or 10060. Thanks for the help.
