About ICD-9-CM 02.96

02.96 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for insertion of sphenoidal electrodes. 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 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 00H00MZ (Insertion of Neurostimulator Lead into Brain, Open Approach), 00H03MZ (Insertion of Neurostimulator Lead into Brain, Percutaneous Approach) and 00H04MZ (Insertion of Neurostimulator Lead into Brain, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
