back abscess with dx of necrotizing fascitis
I know I would code m72.6 with know bacteria infection ( which are 3 different ones), but do I code abscess as well.
Lo2.212?
and what would the sequence be:
Lo2.212
M72.6
b95-b96

I cannot find any reason why you would not code both of them since the abscess is still a current condition and the fasciitis is an infection within/around it. The order you have them looks correct to me.
