Medical Coding

Answer: C - 46050 is the correct code for incision and drainage of a superficial perianal abscess.
Code 46040 is incorrect because this is the code for the incision and drainage of ischiorectal and/or perirectal abscess. Code 46045 is incorrect because this is the code for incision and drainage of a transanal intramural, intramuscular, or submucosal abscess under anesthesia.
