ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
02.31 — Ventricular shunt to structure in head and neck
About ICD-9-CM 02.31
02.31 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for ventricular shunt to structure in head and neck. 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 22 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0016070 (Bypass Cerebral Ventricle to Nasopharynx with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach), 0016071 (Bypass Cerebral Ventricle to Mastoid Sinus with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach) and 00160J0 (Bypass Cerebral Ventricle to Nasopharynx with Synthetic Substitute, 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.
