Primary & Urgent Care Clinicians

Double quotation marks in light blue

"Fewer treatment failures (with the loop technique) means that patients are less likely to receive a repeat incision and drainage, which is an important patient relevant outcome given the significant pain associated with this procedure."

Schechter-Perkins, et al

Benefits for Primary & Urgent Care Clinicians

  • Procedure can be performed in your facility - no need to refer to the ER
  • Superior clinical results - 42% reduction in treatment failures
  • Eliminate patient revisits - more efficient use of exam rooms
  • Faster procedure - minutes to complete
  • Happier patients - less pain, smaller scars
The hidden costs of follow-up visits
  • No reimbursement for follow-up visits
  • Patients often require 1-5 revisits for repacking
  • Average revisit cost – $60

Cost-efficient patient care

Fee-for-Service Reimbursement Model

  • Primary CPT codes (global 10-day period):
    • CPT 10060 - INCISION AND DRAINAGE OF ABSCESS SIMPLE OR SINGLE (Approximately $100-$125)
    • CPT 10061 - INCISION AND DRAINAGE OF ABSCESS COMPLICATED OR MULTIPLE (Approximately $225-$250)
      • AAPC states: “A complicated incision and drainage can involve multiple incisions, drain placements, extensive packing, and a more complicated wound closure.”

The Quickloop Abscess Treatment Device leaves a drainage tube in place post-procedure, making CPT 10061 most applicable

    • Eliminate unreimbursed patient revisits
    • Eliminate costs for re-packing supplies and room turnover
    • Free up procedure rooms
    • Reduce the number of patients in the waiting room, wait time and walk-out rate

"Given the potential for less pain, easier post-procedure care, this technique should be considered for the treatment of skin and soft tissue abscesses in the ED setting."
