About ICD-9-CM 37.98

37.98 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for replacement of automatic cardioverter/defibrillator pulse generator 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 6 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0JH608Z (Insertion of Defibrillator Generator into Chest Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Open Approach), 0JH638Z (Insertion of Defibrillator Generator into Chest Subcutaneous Tissue and Fascia, Percutaneous Approach) and 0JH808Z (Insertion of Defibrillator Generator 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.
