A lap appy was performed as well as drainage of an intrabdominal abscess. I have read the previous thread where -22 was appended to 44970. Does 44970 include the procedure of the drainage? Diagnosis code is 540.0. There does not seem to be another procedure code listing drainage performed laparoscopically.

Thank you!
