Drainage Of A Deep Soft-Tissue Abscess

Tennessee rates for HCPCS 20005

A pocket of infection that has formed in the soft tissue below the deep fascia, the tough sheet of tissue wrapping the muscles, is cut open and drained. The doctor makes an incision, releases the trapped pus, and cleans out the infected area. It can be done at any site on the body and is deeper and more involved than draining an abscess just under the skin.
