Wiki Incision and Drainage of sublingual abscess

[AN2114]

The doctor did an incision and drainage on 2 sublingual abscess. Does cpt code 41005 include multiple abscesses and only need to be reported once or since there were 2 do I report 41005 twice?

Thanks!

From what I understand you can bill 2 units. 41005 , 41005-51 (superficial) or 42310 , 42310-51 (intraoral) I hope this helps.
