When coding for procedures involving an abscess, you’ll need two pieces of information: In some cases, you also may need to know the approach (open, percutaneous) the provider uses in treating the abscess.
For example, if the provider treats an abscess of the kidney, look up the subterm “kidney” under the main term “abscess.” This will lead you to codes 50020 Drainage of perirenal or renal abscess; open and 50021 Drainage of perirenal or renal abscess; percutaneous.
An abscess is a collection of pus, a thick fluid that generally contains white blood cells, dead tissue, and foreign bacteria (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus) or other infection. Think of an abscess as a miniature battlefield, where the body’s immune system is fighting against an infection. Both sides take casualties and inflict damage on the surrounding area.#N#An abscess may occur nearly anywhere on or in the body. For incision and drainage (I&D) of superficial abscess or abscess of the skin at any location, turn to 10060 Incision and drainage of abscess (eg, carbuncle, suppurative hidradenitis, cutaneous or subcutaneous abscess, cyst, furuncle or paronychia); simple or single or 10061 Incision and drainage of abscess (eg, carbuncle, suppurative hidradenitis, cutaneous or subcutaneous abscess, cyst, furuncle or paronychia); complicated or multiple.#N#As specified in the code descriptors, use 10060 for single abscess, or for a small collection of purulent material (e.g., paronychia, or a small cyst around a hair follicle). In such a case, the infection is limited to the superficial subcutaneous tissues. For I&D of multiple abscesses, or for a single large or “complicated” abscess, report 10061. The physician determines whether the abscess is simple/single vs. complex/multiple, and this determination must be supported by documentation. If the medical record is not clear, ask the documenting physician for detail.
Note also that within the musculoskeletal section of CPT®, there is a general incision code (20005 Incision and drainage of soft tissue abscess, subfascial (ie, involves the soft tissue below the deep fascia ), as well as codes specific to: neck, shoulder, upper arm and elbow, forearm and wrist, hand and fingers, pelvis and hip joint, femur and knee joint, leg and ankle joint, and foot and toes. For example, for I&D of an abscess below the fascia of the foot, any of the following may apply:
An abscess may occur nearly anywhere on or in the body. For incision and drainage (I&D) of superficial abscess or abscess of the skin at any location, turn to 10060 Incision and drainage of abscess (eg, carbuncle, suppurative hidradenitis, cutaneous or subcutaneous abscess, cyst, furuncle or paronychia); simple or single or 10061 Incision ...
You also need to know the location because if the abscess is deep, code choice is based on the location of the abscess and is not dependent simply on single versus multiple, and simple versus complicated. Appearance and signs and symptoms can assist with determining simple versus complex.
An incision must be performed and documented to bill for this procedure. If the provider uses a needle to puncture the abscess, and lets it drain, it is not appropriate to use the incision and drainage codes. This procedure would be included in the evaluation and management of the patient for the day and not separately reported.
A boil, also called a furuncle, is a deep folliculitis, infection of the hair follicle. It is most commonly caused by infection by the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, resulting in a painful swollen area on the skin caused by an accumulation of pus and dead tissue. Boils which are expanded are basically pus-filled nodules.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code L02.214 and a single ICD9 code, 682.2 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
