ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
85.46 — Bilateral radical mastectomy
About ICD-9-CM 85.46
85.46 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for bilateral radical mastectomy. 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 5 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 07T50ZZ (Resection of Right Axillary Lymphatic, Open Approach), 07T60ZZ (Resection of Left Axillary Lymphatic, Open Approach) and 0HTV0ZZ (Resection of Bilateral Breast, 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.
