What you have all been waiting for. You now have three specific billing codes to identify how patients were injured by a turtle. Bitten by a turtle? Use one code. Struck by a turtle? Try a different code. If the treatment was due to just the basic injurious contact with a turtle, there is yet another code for that. See codes W59.21XA, W59.21XA and W59.219XA.
There are separate codes for encounters with dolphins (W56.09XA) or getting struck by a sea lion (W56.12XA). Name the animal or bird, and there is a separate code for each encounter.
Are you ready for some chaos?
