About ICD-9-CM 65.81
65.81 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for laparoscopic lysis of adhesions of ovary and fallopian tube. 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 12 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0UN04ZZ (Release Right Ovary, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach), 0UN04ZZ (Release Right Ovary, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 0UN14ZZ (Release Left Ovary, 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.
