About ICD-9-CM 39.94
39.94 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for replacement of vessel-to-vessel cannula. 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 9 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 031B0JF (Bypass Right Radial Artery to Lower Arm Vein with Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach), 031C0JF (Bypass Left Radial Artery to Lower Arm Vein with Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach) and 03PY0JZ (Removal of Synthetic Substitute from Upper Artery, 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.
