About ICD-9-CM 06.13
06.13 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for biopsy of parathyroid gland. 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 6 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0G9R0ZX (Drainage of Parathyroid Gland, Open Approach, Diagnostic), 0G9R3ZX (Drainage of Parathyroid Gland, Percutaneous Approach, Diagnostic) and 0G9R4ZX (Drainage of Parathyroid Gland, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach, Diagnostic).
