ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
42.84 — Repair of esophageal fistula, not elsewhere classified
About ICD-9-CM 42.84
42.84 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for repair of esophageal fistula, not elsewhere classified. 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 17 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQ50ZZ (Repair Esophagus, Open Approach), 0DQ50ZZ (Repair Esophagus, Open Approach) and 0DQ53ZZ (Repair Esophagus, 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.
