Drainage of Superficial Abscess Near the Anus

Illinois rates for HCPCS 46050

A provider makes a small incision to open and drain a pocket of infection located just under the skin near the anus. Because the infection sits close to the surface, this is a less involved procedure than draining an abscess located deeper in the surrounding tissue. It relieves pain and pressure and allows the area to begin healing.
