Although, there are many and you see them every time when you are looking for a diagnosis, my favorite is still.
Fell in other hole. There is no ICD-10 code for Fell in hole or at least there wasn't in ICD-9. So you had to document that the patient fell in a hole, NOS (somehow), before you could diagnose him with Fell in other hole.
Now looking it up, it is Fall into hole. There is no fall into other hole. There are a million of these, so don't want to start a thread of funny ICD-10 codes, but there is Fell from a bike after hitting a pot hole. So, would it not be specific enough if you didn't mention the pot hole? Would they read the note? Would the call the family? How would BC/BS know about the pot hole.
