Wiki Wound Closure, Irrigation and Drain Placement?

[tori.a]

Hi! How would you code this? I suggested 12044 for the intermediate closure but is there a way for the physician to be paid for the drain placement/irrigation? Another physician performed the initial debridement of the Fournier's gangrene. OP note below. Thanks!!

For your clinical scenario I would consider CPT code 13160 for your wound closure
