Drainage of a Fluid-Filled Sac in the Forearm or Wrist

Missouri rates for HCPCS 25031

This procedure drains a swollen, fluid-filled cushioning sac (a bursa) near the forearm or wrist through a small incision, relieving pressure and pain caused by inflammation or infection of the sac. The area is opened, the fluid is drained, and the wound is typically left to heal or lightly closed depending on whether infection is present. It is a relatively minor, same-day procedure.
