ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
48.62 — Anterior resection of rectum with synchronous colostomy
About ICD-9-CM 48.62
48.62 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for anterior resection of rectum with synchronous colostomy. 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 0D1N0Z4 (Bypass Sigmoid Colon to Cutaneous, Open Approach), 0D1N4Z4 (Bypass Sigmoid Colon to Cutaneous, Percutaneous Endoscopic 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.
