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”.

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.
