Hi, can anyone please help me with assigning a CPT code to D7510, as well as the best ICD-10 codes to go with procedure. Pt came in with pain and swelling of area. Pain was radiating to ear and throat. Large Palatal abscess from #12 to junction of hard and soft palate all the way to the midline. Thank you!

Hi Guest!
D7510 – incision and drainage of abscess – intraoral soft tissue Here are some coding options for you below: 40800 - Drainage of abscess, cyst, hematoma, vestibule of mouth; simple 40801 - Drainage of abscess, cyst, hematoma, vestibule of mouth; complicated 41800 - Drainage of abscess, cyst, hematoma from dentoalveolar structures
As for the ICD10 code(s), here are some options based on what you described:
K12.2 - Cellulitis and abscess of mouth K04.6 - Periapical abscess with sinus K04.7 - Periapical abscess without sinus
Hope this helps!
