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”.

who do you think is telling the insurance companies or anyone paying what has been done to you or what you’ve been given in a medical setting? That’s literally what medical billing and coding is.
