About ICD-9-CM 39.81

39.81 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for implantation or replacement of carotid sinus stimulation device, total system. 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 12 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 03HK0MZ (Insertion of Stimulator Lead into Right Internal Carotid Artery, Open Approach), 03HK3MZ (Insertion of Stimulator Lead into Right Internal Carotid Artery, Percutaneous Approach) and 03HK4MZ (Insertion of Stimulator Lead into Right Internal Carotid Artery, Percutaneous Endoscopic 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.
