We have pt's that have abscess and they have to come back every day for drainage and changing dressings. But the insurance is not paying for the subsequent visit, and these are BC, BS, CIGNA CARRIER. Should we use wound check V58.32 as primary dx and 682.9abscess as secondary, after the initial visit. This is how we bill it:
99213
682.9
Thank you all in advance.
