When you think of Thanksgiving, EHR and medical billing codes most likely don’t come to mind, so here’s a list of our top 10 helpful Thanksgiving ICD-10 codes:
- W71.43 Pecked by turkey (let the pros kill it next time)
- W61.42 Struck by turkey (was he wearing gloves?)
- W61.49 Other contact with turkey (next year, cook a ham)
- W29.1XXA Contact with electric knife (you didn’t need that thumb anyway)
- R63.2 Polyphagia (gobble, gobble too much?)
- R14.1 Gas pain (self-explanatory)
- R46.4L Slowness and poor responsiveness (too much tryptophan)
- Z63.1 Problems in relationship with in-laws (will they ever like you?)
- W21.01 Struck by football (watch it on TV next year)
- Y04.0 Assault by unarmed brawl or fight (was your Black Friday a little violent?)
In honor of Thanksgiving, we will be closed Thursday-Sunday, enjoying some quality time with our loved ones (who hopefully like us) & ingesting turkey (the one that just pecked us).
Happy Thanksgiving!
