About ICD-9-CM 73.93

73.93 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for incision of cervix to assist delivery. 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 0U7C7ZZ (Dilation of Cervix, Via Natural or Artificial Opening) and 10E0XZZ (Delivery of Products of Conception, External 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.
