Here are the 20 most strange ICD-10 codes we’ve run across to date. 1. W220.2XD: Walked into lamppost, subsequent encounter 2. W61.33: Pecked by a chicken 3. W61.62XD: Struck by duck, subsequent encounter 4. W55.41XA: Bitten by pig, initial encounter 5. W59.22XA: Struck By turtle 6. R46.1: Bizarre personal appearance 7.
6) There also ICD-10 codes to identify what activity patients are engaged in when they are injured. Injured when knitting or crocheting: Y93.D1 Burned when water skis caught on fire: Y91.07XA 7) If some of these codes seem to have been created by space aliens, you could be right.
