46.52 — Closure of stoma of large intestine
About ICD-9-CM 46.52
46.52 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of stoma of large intestine. 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 4 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQE0ZZ (Repair Large Intestine, Open Approach), 0DQH0ZZ (Repair Cecum, Open Approach) and 0DQN0ZZ (Repair Sigmoid Colon, 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.
