About ICD-9-CM 53.16

53.16 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other and open bilateral repair of inguinal hernia, one direct and one indirect, with graft or prosthesis. 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 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0YUA07Z (Supplement Bilateral Inguinal Region with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach), 0YUA0JZ (Supplement Bilateral Inguinal Region with Synthetic Substitute, Open Approach) and 0YUA0KZ (Supplement Bilateral Inguinal Region with Nonautologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
