About ICD-9-CM 38.97

38.97 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for central venous catheter placement with guidance. 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 48 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 05H533Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Right Subclavian Vein, Percutaneous Approach), 05H633Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Left Subclavian Vein, Percutaneous Approach) and 05HM33Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Right Internal Jugular Vein, 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.
