ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
34.85 — Implantation of diaphragmatic pacemaker
About ICD-9-CM 34.85
34.85 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for implantation of diaphragmatic pacemaker. 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 10 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0BHT0MZ (Insertion of Diaphragmatic Pacemaker Lead into Diaphragm, Open Approach), 0BHT0MZ (Insertion of Diaphragmatic Pacemaker Lead into Diaphragm, Open Approach) and 0BHT3MZ (Insertion of Diaphragmatic Pacemaker Lead into Diaphragm, Percutaneous Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
