Wiki Diagnosis code help -DERMATOLOGIST FOR REMOVAL

[MsMaddy]

I NEED DX FOR REFERRING A PT TO DERMATOLOGIST FOR REMOVAL OF TATTOO. OUR DOCTOR SAW THE PT'S TATTOO AND HE REFERRED HER TO GET IT REMOVED.

THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE

Your doctor doesn't like tattoo's, or just didn't like HER tattoo?

I'm glad to know that there are Coders who have sense of humer. Your funny Carol. Thanks for your help. My doctor just felt that the pt should see the dermatloglist instead him removing it. I gues he did'nt feel confident enough.
