Case Earring pulled through ear

[Alicia Scott]

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.

 

[Alicia Scott]

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

 

[Carolyn Heath]

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.

 

[Nevergiveup]

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.

That's what I said: E915. My answer was the second below the picture.

Really Carolyn. That is great. I told myself I would not look at any answers. I just scrolled down really fast.
