About ICD-9-CM 37.85
37.85 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for replacement of any type pacemaker device with single-chamber device, not specified as rate responsive. 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 6 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0JH604Z (Insertion of Pacemaker, Single Chamber into Chest Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach), 0JH634Z (Insertion of Pacemaker, Single Chamber into Chest Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Percutaneous Approach) and 0JH804Z (Insertion of Pacemaker, Single Chamber into Abdomen Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, 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.
