About ICD-9-CM 238.79
238.79 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other lymphatic and hematopoietic tissues. 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 7 ICD-10-CM codes, such as C94.40 (Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis not having achieved remission), C94.41 (Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis, in remission) and C94.42 (Acute panmyelosis with myelofibrosis, in relapse). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
