About ICD-9-CM 44.63

44.63 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of other gastric fistula. 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 20 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQ60ZZ (Repair Stomach, Open Approach), 0DQ63ZZ (Repair Stomach, Percutaneous Approach) and 0DQ64ZZ (Repair Stomach, 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.
