About ICD-9-CM 270.2
270.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other disturbances of aromatic amino-acid metabolism. 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 5 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E70.21 (Tyrosinemia), E70.29 (Other disorders of tyrosine metabolism) and E70.30 (Albinism, unspecified). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
