About ICD-9-CM 21.83

21.83 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for total nasal reconstruction. 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 09RK07Z (Replacement of Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach), 09UK07Z (Supplement Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Open Approach) and 09UK87Z (Supplement Nasal Mucosa and Soft Tissue with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
