About ICD-9-CM 78.39

78.39 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for limb lengthening procedures, other bones. 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 48 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0P8T0ZZ (Division of Right Finger Phalanx, Open Approach), 0P8T3ZZ (Division of Right Finger Phalanx, Percutaneous Approach) and 0P8T4ZZ (Division of Right Finger Phalanx, 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.
