About ICD-9-CM 88.98
88.98 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for bone mineral density studies. 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 16 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as BP48ZZ1 (Ultrasonography of Right Shoulder, Densitometry), BP49ZZ1 (Ultrasonography of Left Shoulder, Densitometry) and BP4GZZ1 (Ultrasonography of Right Elbow, Densitometry). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
