ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
78.32 — Limb lengthening procedures, humerus
About ICD-9-CM 78.32
78.32 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for limb lengthening procedures, humerus. 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 18 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0P8F0ZZ (Division of Right Humeral Shaft, Open Approach), 0P8F3ZZ (Division of Right Humeral Shaft, Percutaneous Approach) and 0P8F4ZZ (Division of Right Humeral Shaft, 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.
