ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
52.51 — Proximal pancreatectomy
About ICD-9-CM 52.51
52.51 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for proximal pancreatectomy. 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 13 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DB90ZZ (Excision of Duodenum, Open Approach), 0DB93ZZ (Excision of Duodenum, Percutaneous Approach) and 0DB94ZZ (Excision of Duodenum, Percutaneous Endoscopic 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.
