ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
32.6 — Radical dissection of thoracic structures
About ICD-9-CM 32.6
32.6 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for radical dissection of thoracic structures. 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 7 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 01B30ZZ (Excision of Brachial Plexus, Open Approach), 01BL0ZZ (Excision of Thoracic Sympathetic Nerve, Open Approach) and 0BTK0ZZ (Resection of Right Lung, 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.
