About ICD-9-CM 70.72

70.72 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for repair of colovaginal fistula. 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 10 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DQE0ZZ (Repair Large Intestine, Open Approach), 0DQE3ZZ (Repair Large Intestine, Percutaneous Approach) and 0DQE4ZZ (Repair Large Intestine, 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.
