ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
68.8 — Pelvic evisceration
About ICD-9-CM 68.8
68.8 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for pelvic evisceration. 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 16 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DTN0ZZ (Resection of Sigmoid Colon, Open Approach), 0DTP0ZZ (Resection of Rectum, Open Approach) and 0TTB0ZZ (Resection of Bladder, 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.
