About ICD-9-CM 78.34

78.34 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for limb lengthening procedures, carpals and metacarpals. 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 36 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0P8M0ZZ (Division of Right Carpal, Open Approach), 0P8M3ZZ (Division of Right Carpal, Percutaneous Approach) and 0P8M4ZZ (Division of Right Carpal, 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.
