Wiki Help With Diagnosis Codes

1. Patient had an abdomen ultrasound. Impression reads right lower quadrant fluid collection.

2. Patient had an abdomen x-ray for location of endoscopic camera. Conclusion reads small endoscopic camera present within the right midabdomen.

Any suggestions on either of these diagnoses?

Thank you.

Hi, the only icd-9 you could code is 789.59 for Ascites if the test showed no other abnormality. Hope this helps.
