Hello,
I work for a family practice and I need some help finding an appropriate dx for a patient who came in to have an IV port removed. He went to see his cardiologist the day before and left without telling the nurse he still had it. So he came in the next day to have it taken out. I went through our ICD-9 book to find a dx but there really wasn't one that looked appropriate. If someone can lead me to the right direction that will be great.
Thanks,
Raquel
