Wiki ICD code for the source of a needlestick

I am having a problem coding exposure panels for the source of a needlestick. I would love input from anyone that codes these type of cases.

I am having a problem coding exposure panels for the source of a needlestick. I would love input from anyone that codes these type of cases.

I code paths and labs and when I am faced with an exposure for needle stick I use V15.85 (exposure to bodily fluids).
Hope this helps,
