About ICD-9-CM 68.49
68.49 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other and unspecified total abdominal hysterectomy. 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 0UT90ZZ (Resection of Uterus, Open Approach) and 0UTC0ZZ (Resection of Cervix, Open 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.
