This would be fun to fine an E code for.

I am not sure that I got the right code, but it is a foreign object in an ear. My guess will be E915.

I like that. How unique right? Thought this was an interesting one to code.

It was unique to code. It took me awhile to figure that an earring is a foreign object and I was looking in the E Code Index for Earring and not Foreign Object.

I will look this up too when I get home. Would there be a V Code to code this as well or just E. I was just curious. :):):)

What about E915. I did not look at any answers. I look at icd9 code what about 931. CPT code 69205. I don't know if any of these answers are correct but I just kept going.
