About ICD-9-CM 33.79
33.79 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for endoscopic insertion of other bronchial device or substances. 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 6 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0BH082Z (Insertion of Monitoring Device into Tracheobronchial Tree, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic), 0BH083Z (Insertion of Infusion Device into Tracheobronchial Tree, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic) and 0BH08DZ (Insertion of Intraluminal Device into Tracheobronchial Tree, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
