Hey guys!

patient had a 56405 I&d of vulva for abscess, we are in 10 global period currently, she was brough back to OR for wound packing change under MAC not general anesthesia because she couldn't tolerate it otherwise just to painful , NO infection. I assume this would be considered routine global care because there was no infection or complication but wasn't sure because it did require a return to the OR......? and if I can charge for it any thoughts because cpt 15852 is for general anesthesia only, 12021 is for wound dehiscence....

Thanks so much!
