- _-david-_ 4y agoAnother interesting one W61.62XD Struck by duck, subsequent encounter
- hulitu 4y agoIs there also a "struck by duck like" ? For when you are struck by a nin certified duck ?
- bumbledraven 4y agoNote: "subsequent encounter" refers to the type of care being provided, not the patient's encounter with the duck. https://www.cmadocs.org/newsroom/news/view/ArticleId/34855/Coding-Corner-Initial-vs-subsequent-vs-sequela-in-ICD-10-CM-coding https://www.cmadocs.org/newsroom/news/view/ArticleId/34855/C...

- pyuser583 4y ago“T63.81 -Toxic effect of contact with venomous frog” There are no venomous frogs.
- issung 4y agohttps://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/can-frogs-be-venomous.html https://www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/can-frogs-be-venomous.html "There are currently only two species of frog known to be venomous: Bruno's casque-headed frog (Aparasphenodon brunoi) and Greening's frog (Corythomantis greeningi)."
- pyuser583 4y agoOhhh - the paper presenting venomous frogs was presented in August 2015, while the code for venomous frogs became effective on October 1st, 2015. Coincidence? Or is the code just really good about keeping on top of things? I’m pretty sure there was a code for venomous frogs before 2015, though.
