Robb in Austin Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 As some know, I'm in healthcare. I recently noticed that there is a billing code for assault with sea anemone. No, really. T63.633 Toxic effect of contact with sea anemone, assault So, o0zarkawater, watch it bub! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robb in Austin Posted February 18, 2019 Author Share Posted February 18, 2019 I think that would fall under T50.Z93 Poisoning by other vaccines and biological substances, assault or T50.903 Poisoning by unspecified drugs, medicaments and biological substances, assault Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timfish Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Can't help but think the reason for a specific code is there was some incident that got both the justice system and insurance companies involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
