Would anyone be able to assist me with the proper E codes for a fishhook removal?
 
Can you please provide a little more information as to the context of the accident and also where the fish hook was embedded?
 
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. :)
 
With the information provided, I would use E917.9 which covers being struck by a moving or projected object with or without subsequent fall.

:)
 
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.
