About ICD-9-CM 48.29

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DJD3ZZ (Inspection of Lower Intestinal Tract, Percutaneous Approach) and 0DJD7ZZ (Inspection of Lower Intestinal Tract, Via Natural or Artificial Opening). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
