what's a code for foreign body removal in abdominal area?
Does the note state specifically where and how it was removed?
Sorry, but I would not hazard a guess at this one. For a CPT code, I would want to know where specifically it was lodged, what the object was, and by what method it was removed. For an ICD-9 code, the same, plus if any damage was done before suggesting a code (at least via this forum).
