About ICD-9-CM 270.7
270.7 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other disturbances of straight-chain 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E72.3 (Disorders of lysine and hydroxylysine metabolism) and E72.8 (Other specified disorders of amino-acid metabolism). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
