About ICD-9-CM 87.02
87.02 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other contrast radiogram of brain and skull. 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 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as B027Y0Z (Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Cisterna using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced) and B027YZZ (Computerized Tomography (CT Scan) of Cisterna using Other Contrast). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
