Can I get help on a CPT for the following procedure?
Patient presents with second degree burns to hand.
Procedure: With sterile 16 g needle, opened 3 of the large fluid filled blisters and a straw colored fluid drained. Triple antibiotic was placed and hand wrapped in gauze.
Would this be considered an I&D at 10060 or a puncture aspiration at 10160?
Thank you for any help.
