Incision was made over this fluctuant area at the 9 o'clock position. A large amount of hematoma was evacuated. It did not appear infected.; After assurring it had been completely evacuated the area was irrigated. There was no active bleeding. A 7-french flat drain was placed through a separate incision and laid to rest in this cavity, a suture placed of 3-0 nylon. Deep tissues closed with interrupted 3-0 vicryl. Skin edges closed with a running 4-0 Monocryl subcuticuliar stitch. Steri-strips and a sterile pressure dressing was applied.

Looking at 19020 - any other ideas?? Seems a little more complex that 10140.

Thanks
 
Breast evacuation of hematoma

The provider punctured the hematoma with a needle (puncture aspiration)
and drained the hematoma. To find the code for drainage of the hematoma of breast in deep means i would suggest CPT 19020
