ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
48.52 — Open abdominoperineal resection of the rectum
About ICD-9-CM 48.52
48.52 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for open abdominoperineal resection of the rectum. 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 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0D1N0Z4 (Bypass Sigmoid Colon to Cutaneous, Open Approach) and 0DTP0ZZ (Resection of Rectum, 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.
