What is the ICD-9 DX (911.6, 924.10) and CPT codes for Patient who presents to Emergency Dept from Section 12 Police,
Suicidal (V62.84), Police taser barbs (911.6, 982.5, E975) are removed in E/D from his chest (removed out from the muscle using traction) and multiple police dog bites (894.0, E906.0) to his calves. E/M = Critical Care. E975 = LEGAL INTERVENTION (VS. ELECT CUR E925.8). There was no documentation indicating an incision to pull out the barbs, therefore, I will not use (86.05, 10121 or CPT = 20520)
