It seems I will have to fill out the Doctor's portion of Claim form for short term disability.  Does anyone know if we put these ICD-9 codes in the section under ICD-9 disease code or leave that blank (or put something else in that section) and just put it later on under ICD-9 section pertaining to Date and Type of Surgery/Procedure performed... I am clueless to how to fill it out and don't want to invalidate it.
Thanks,
Tammy

I'm not at work so i can't look up the codes but the 856, 855.0 and 855.4 don't sound right - those are icd 9 codes for an injury and I don't see those these would work with a breast lift.  The 728.84 code sounds OK - it's for a muscle type of condition.
