Overview of CPT Code 22012: Incision and drainage of hematoma, deep

A hematoma is a localized collection of blood outside of blood vessels, often due to injury.

Recovery typically takes a few days to a week, depending on the size and location of the hematoma.

There may be a scar, but it usually fades over time.

It is advised to have someone drive you home, especially if anesthesia was used.
