Please advise on the depth of the foreign body for this procedure. I see 28190 is subcutaneous. 28192 deep, the layer below that, dermis. Does use of 28193 have to be in the lower level of skin as in nerves, muscle or, as the note says "complicated".If the would is infected and requires anesthesia for exploration, can if be complicated in the dermis? I am advising my provider to include tissue depth in his note and yet it seems the code descriptor 28193 is lacking information.
