About ICD-9-CM 03.32
03.32 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for biopsy of spinal cord or spinal meninges. 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 27 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 009T0ZX (Drainage of Spinal Meninges, Open Approach, Diagnostic), 009T3ZX (Drainage of Spinal Meninges, Percutaneous Approach, Diagnostic) and 009T4ZX (Drainage of Spinal Meninges, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach, Diagnostic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
