About ICD-9-CM 078.89
078.89 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specified diseases due to viruses. 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 A98.3 (Marburg virus disease), A98.4 (Ebola virus disease) and B33.8 (Other specified viral diseases). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
