About ICD-9-CM 249.71
249.71 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for secondary diabetes mellitus with peripheral circulatory disorders, uncontrolled. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E08.51 (Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene), E08.65 (Diabetes mellitus due to underlying condition with hyperglycemia) and E09.51 (Drug or chemical induced diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene). 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.
