About ICD-9-CM 68.79

68.79 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other and unspecified radical vaginal 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 6 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0UT47ZZ (Resection of Uterine Supporting Structure, Via Natural or Artificial Opening), 0UT48ZZ (Resection of Uterine Supporting Structure, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic) and 0UT97ZZ (Resection of Uterus, 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.
