Wall Street Journal: Walked Into a Lamppost? Hurt While Crocheting? Help Is on the Way

We all know there are a number of odd and often humorous codes we deal with, in addition to the thousands of very serious codes. The Wall Street Journal recently ran an article about the coding industry and quoted Rhonda Buckholtz, CPC, CPMA, CPC-I, AAPC vice president of ICD-10 training and education as part of the story.

“Why are there codes for injuries received while sewing, ironing, playing a brass instrument, crocheting, doing handcrafts, or knitting—but not while shopping,” said Buckholtz.
