Looking for some clarification. Our GYN providers are using 10061 and 56405 codes interchangeably. I would code 56405 when the documentation states "I & D of Abscess/Furuncle of the vulva or perineal area". Others are coding 10061 for the same documentation. Any enlightenment would greatly be appreciated. (There is an exclude note under code 56405 that includes code 10061)
