ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
71.5 — Radical vulvectomy
About ICD-9-CM 71.5
71.5 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for radical vulvectomy. 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 07BH0ZZ (Excision of Right Inguinal Lymphatic, Open Approach), 07BH4ZZ (Excision of Right Inguinal Lymphatic, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 07BJ0ZZ (Excision of Left Inguinal Lymphatic, 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.
