diagnosis is septic prepatellar bursitis. doc did an open irrigation and debridement. i am using 726.65 plus the code for the infectious agent, but i am not sure which cpt code to use. doc did not state that he did a bursectomy. he stated that the bursa was debrided using a combination of curette and a rongeur. any help would be greatly appreciated..
 
Prepatellar irrigation and exc. debridement - LOVE networking

Biopsy deep, #27324, which states should not be coded separately with excision. RVU is currently 10.3.
I & D deep abscess bursa, knee #27301, which again should not be coded separately with excision. RVU is currently 17.1
11042 - 11044 pay notoriously low.
So, I'm going with #27301 Was given Ancef and dx is prepatellar septic bursitis
