Drain placement in bursa
Question:
"Patient has complex prepatellar bursal effusion with overlying cellulitis. Under direct sonographic control, a 5G Yueh catheter was advanced into a large pocket of complex fluid and connected to a three-way stopcock. Local aspiration was performed, yielding approximately 20 mL of mixed purulent and sanguinous fluid (but amongst three different syringes). Relevant images were permanently stored into PACS. Small drainage bag was then connected to the three-way stopcock and appropriate sterile dressing was applied."
If it was just an aspiration I would code 20611, but what would be the code for the drain placement? Is 10030 appropriate?
