About ICD-9-CM 59.72
59.72 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for injection of implant into urethra and/or bladder neck. 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 3E0K3GC (Introduction of Other Therapeutic Substance into Genitourinary Tract, Percutaneous Approach) and 3E0K4GC (Introduction of Other Therapeutic Substance into Genitourinary Tract, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
