About ICD-9-CM 37.97

37.97 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for replacement of automatic cardioverter/defibrillator lead(s) only. 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 21 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 02H40KZ (Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Coronary Vein, Open Approach), 02H44KZ (Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Coronary Vein, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 02H60KZ (Insertion of Defibrillator Lead into Right Atrium, 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.
