Patient presents with neck abscess and underwent I & D of neck region. Depth of incision like skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle or bone is not documented.
What PCS-10 code will be appropriate?
-I & D of skin of neck region, external approach
-Drainage of neck, open approach
There is also one guideline for PCS-10 B2.1a (The procedure codes in general anatomical regions body systems should only be used when the procedure is performed on an anatomical region (e.g., root operations Control, Detachment, Drainage of a body cavity) rather than a specific body part.
Is this guideline applicable in this scenario?
