About ICD-9-CM 052.7
052.7 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for chickenpox with other specified complications. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as B01.0 (Varicella meningitis), B01.81 (Varicella keratitis) and B01.89 (Other varicella complications). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
