About ICD-9-CM 250.72
250.72 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for diabetes with peripheral circulatory disorders, type II or unspecified type, 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E11.51 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with diabetic peripheral angiopathy without gangrene) and E11.65 (Type 2 diabetes mellitus with hyperglycemia). 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.
