About ICD-9-CM 22.71

22.71 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of nasal sinus 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 16 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 09QQ0ZZ (Repair Right Maxillary Sinus, Open Approach), 09QQ3ZZ (Repair Right Maxillary Sinus, Percutaneous Approach) and 09QQ4ZZ (Repair Right Maxillary Sinus, Percutaneous Endoscopic 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.
