My physician performed a breast mastectomy and in the end of the note he says "We placed a 10mm flat JP drain in the depths of the incision and brought it out via stab wound in the inferior skin flap. We then approximated the breast tissue in layers over the drain in an effort to avoid dramatic change in countour of the breast"
Would the above statement be enough documentation to code 14001?
