ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
60.5 — Radical prostatectomy
About ICD-9-CM 60.5
60.5 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for radical prostatectomy. 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 6 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0VT00ZZ (Resection of Prostate, Open Approach), 0VT04ZZ (Resection of Prostate, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 0VT07ZZ (Resection of Prostate, Via Natural or Artificial Opening). 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.
