Drainage Of A Complicated Or Multiple Abscess

Alaska rates for HCPCS 10061

A pocket of infection under the skin is opened and drained to relieve pressure and allow it to heal, for a case that is more involved than a simple, single abscess, either because there is more than one or because it is deep, large, or requires packing. It is typically done in an office, urgent care, or emergency setting after numbing the area.
