Any suggestions for diagnosis code of an infected tongue piercing? Is it
post op surgical? It wasn't traumatic to start with ! Thanks!
 
tongue piercing

Wound open tongue, complicated. Unless your provider pierced the tongue, it is not post op to them, however it could be considered a DX code of post op complication as secondary DX
Hope this helps
