Would anyone be able to assist me with the proper E codes for a fishhook removal?

My apologies that I forgot to specify the fhook was embedded on superficially in the back. No procedure to bill. Thank u so much for help with these e codes.

That is what I was leaning towards also. I could not come up with another appropriate E code for activity. There is one for involving water, but do not think that would apply. Really appreciate your help.

I've used the vague activity code E002.9 for fishing.

Re: Fish Hook E code
I agree with Mojo. I also code E920.8 for fish hooks
