About ICD-9-CM 77.95
77.95 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for total ostectomy, femur. 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 0QT60ZZ (Resection of Right Upper Femur, Open Approach), 0QT70ZZ (Resection of Left Upper Femur, Open Approach) and 0QT80ZZ (Resection of Right Femoral Shaft, 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.
