About ICD-9-CM 31.73

31.73 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of other fistula of trachea. 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 10 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0BQ10ZZ (Repair Trachea, Open Approach), 0BQ13ZZ (Repair Trachea, Percutaneous Approach) and 0BQ14ZZ (Repair Trachea, 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.
