Hello,
Not sure how to code this and need some help.
Pt had an ID on left side of groin and then 18 days later developed right groin pain and a lump. Given the likelihood of an underlying abscess and his history of left groin abscess, decision was made to perform an I & D, however, following the incision there was no pus noted. Three days later, there was pus noted. How would I bill this out?? Would it be an I & D on the right?
Thanks for the help
