About ICD-9-CM 03.97

03.97 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for revision of spinal thecal shunt. 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 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 00WU0JZ (Revision of Synthetic Substitute in Spinal Canal, Open Approach), 00WU3JZ (Revision of Synthetic Substitute in Spinal Canal, Percutaneous Approach) and 00WU4JZ (Revision of Synthetic Substitute in Spinal Canal, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
