When coding for procedures involving an abscess, you’ll need two pieces of information: The location of the abscess. The treatment method (e.g., incision and drainage, excision) for the abscess. In some cases, you also may need to know the approach (open, percutaneous) the provider uses in treating the abscess.
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.
