Wound check and drainage catheter placed
A patient had an I&D for vulvar abcess. Came in 2 days later (during global period) for a wound check. Provider inspected the wound for any additional pockets and placed a Word catheter to aid in healing.
The visit code would be a post op visit but can we charge for the catheter placement since this was decided on after the initial procedure? What code would I use?
