ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
37.94 — Implantation or replacement of automatic cardioverter/defibrillator, total system [AICD]
About ICD-9-CM 37.94
37.94 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for implantation or replacement of automatic cardioverter/defibrillator, total system [AICD]. 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 38 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 02H60KZ (Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Right Atrium, Open Approach), 02H60KZ (Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Right Atrium, Open Approach) and 02H63KZ (Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Right Atrium, Percutaneous 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.
