Placing A Deep Antibiotic-Releasing Implant

Colorado rates for HCPCS 20700

Mixes and shapes a medication-releasing material, such as antibiotic beads or a spacer, and places it deep in the wound beneath the tough sheet of tissue that covers the muscle. Putting the medication right at the site delivers a strong dose to an infection where the bloodstream alone would not carry enough. It is billed in addition to the main procedure.
