About ICD-9-CM 11.39
11.39 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other excision of pterygium. 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 08BSXZZ (Excision of Right Conjunctiva, External Approach) and 08BTXZZ (Excision of Left Conjunctiva, External Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
