About ICD-9-CM 47.92
47.92 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of appendiceal 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 12 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQJ0ZZ (Repair Appendix, Open Approach), 0DQJ0ZZ (Repair Appendix, Open Approach) and 0DQJ3ZZ (Repair Appendix, 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.
