About ICD-9-CM 48.73

48.73 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closure of other rectal 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 23 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQP0ZZ (Repair Rectum, Open Approach), 0DQP0ZZ (Repair Rectum, Open Approach) and 0DQP0ZZ (Repair 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.
