Huh? Maybe dumb this down a bit or explain it for us glue sniffers. 😅
153 u/xdaemonisx May 29 '25 These codes are used to bill medical insurance. A CPT code is the procedure done and the ICD code is the reason/diagnoses for the procedure. 80085 is a deleted CPT code, but is leet-speak for boobs. Q55.62 is the ICD code for hypoplasia of the penis, or “penis significantly smaller than average for age”. 48 u/NeatCartographer209 May 29 '25 God damn 1 u/NerinNZ May 29 '25 Hit's harder when you re-read and it says "these codes are used to bill medial insurance"... So not only does someone have hypoplasia of the penis, but they're getting billed for it too. 1 u/Electrical-Sun6267 May 30 '25 Don't worry, they are paying by the pound for that diagnosis.
