My general question is, if a patient comes in with an abscess, the surgeon goes in and finds pus subcutaneously but also disects down the fascia just to make sure its not at that level as well, do you code the level of the fascia because it was exposed or only subcutaneously because thats where the work was done?

Sorry if this is in the wrong section. I asked someone pretty high up in my organization days ago, and she still hasn’t responded and I wouldn’t think it would take days to get a response on this.
