- and woe be to the patient who doesn't know what type of swallow. -- nm - zork Dec 19, 09:05 2
  - It's obvious because a European swallow couldn't carry one -- nm - spamlet Dec 19, 09:06 1
    - what if it was two of them together? -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 09:07
we'll code anything. - Mel Profit Dec 19, 08:46 16
- It's not just turkeys though. Right above the turkey codes are the chicken codes. There are turtle codes. - Jim Dec 19, 08:47 15
  - What is the point of these codes? What does it add to health care that makes them useful? - TWuG Dec 19, 08:49 14
    - I could see wanting to be sure that it was a chicken attack rather than turkey to know whether to test for salmonella -- nm - zork Dec 19, 08:55
    - It allows doctors and coders to be as specific as possible when coding why a patient came to see them. - Jim Dec 19, 08:50 12
      - from a single payer perspective, I'd really like to see the statistics on how often these codes get used. - mafic Dec 19, 08:53 11
        
        Turkey's are mean sumb!tches - I bet they get used more often than one would think -- nm - decline Dec 19, 08:56 3
        
        well yeah. here I'd switch it to cassowaries or emus. they're mean fuckers. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 09:01 2
        
        aren't koalas and roos nasty sometimes? - zork Dec 19, 09:03 1
        
        The entire continent of Australia is full of mean fuckers. - TWuG Dec 19, 09:10
        
        Well, they don't go into effect until Oct 2014. But here's the spacecraft stuff - Jim Dec 19, 08:55 6
        
        why would you need 26 separate codes for spacecraft-related diagnoses? i'd give good odds that 25 of those have never been used. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 09:00 5
        
        when it does though, they'll be ready! -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 09:05 2
        
        between this and the birthday greeting for guigue earlier, I'm feeling very killfiled today -- nm - zork Dec 19, 09:15 1
        
        enh, i just hadn't refreshed to see yours. -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 09:16
        
        but they *could* happen and Jim is into scouting, so Be Prepared. - zork Dec 19, 09:04
        
        *shrugs* -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 09:02
Here's a copy/paste - Jim Dec 19, 08:43 5
- i love this. -- nm - Andie Dec 19, 08:52
- I have no idea what this thread is about, but I really hope it's somehow related to coding doctor visits. -- nm - mafic Dec 19, 08:49 1
  - Diagnosis codes. -- nm - Jim Dec 19, 08:51
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 08:48
- that's awesome -- nm - decline Dec 19, 08:47
