Additional Info
- Refers to efforts to drain or evacuate either abnormal fluid, clot, pus, etc. and eliminates the fluid from the body
- forming a colostomy is not drainage because stool is not an abnormal fluid, code as Bypass)
- The method of drainage can be anything: open surgical, percutaneous, etc.
- Includes the following:
- Pericardiocentesis and/or creation of a pericardial window
- Abscess drainage -- or incision & drainage (I&D)
- Drainage of a collection of blood or evacuation of a blood clot (e.g. in the head) --- but it does NOT include endarterectomy or thrombectomy -- see Extraction
- Drainage of fluid -- e.g. from a joint
- Diagnostic joint taps are listed as Arthrocentesis, diagnostic in the quick pick list
- Paracentesis when done for therapeutic reasons (use Paracentesis (diagnostic) for diagnostic ones)
- we are aware that this will not distinguish surgical from nonsurgical drainage procedures; this is one of the consequences of NOT including the next layer to CCI coding (i.e. "how" the thing was done)
See also Bypass for some similar things.
