About ICD-9-CM 03.39
03.39 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other diagnostic procedures on spinal cord and spinal canal structures. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 00JU4ZZ (Inspection of Spinal Canal, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 00JV4ZZ (Inspection of Spinal Cord, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
