ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
81.37 — Refusion of lumbar and lumbosacral spine, posterior column, posterior technique
About ICD-9-CM 81.37
81.37 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for refusion of lumbar and lumbosacral spine, posterior column, posterior technique. 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 24 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0SG0071 (Fusion of Lumbar Vertebral Joint with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Posterior Approach, Posterior Column, Open Approach), 0SG00J1 (Fusion of Lumbar Vertebral Joint with Synthetic Substitute, Posterior Approach, Posterior Column, Open Approach) and 0SG00K1 (Fusion of Lumbar Vertebral Joint with Nonautologous Tissue Substitute, Posterior Approach, Posterior Column, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
