Patient is getting EGD due to pins being seen on X-ray by referring provider. Patient admits swallowing glass and batteries the previous week. EGD is done and nothing is found-no foreign objects and no tears anywhere.
The best I've come up with is encounter for suspected disease/condition ruled out but not sure if it will get paid with that dx.
I can't seem to find any history codes for swallowing foreign objects only current codes.
I'm thinking history of mental illness but that is not documented.
TIA!
