About ICD-9-CM 21.82

21.82 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of nasal fistula. 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 23 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 09QK0ZZ (Repair Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue, Open Approach), 09QK0ZZ (Repair Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue, Open Approach) and 09QK0ZZ (Repair Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
