:)Hello Fellow Coders,
I need help with a scenario....

A patient is getting evaluated for closure of enlarged ear lobes caused from large ear rings. Nothing is wrong with the earlobes, he just wants them closed to join the military.
What ICD-9 code would I use?

any help is appreciated!

thanks
 
Just a thought....

782.9 Other symptoms involving skin and integumentary system ???

It's not really an injury anymore or a scar or really a late affect.
