About ICD-9-CM 344.89
344.89 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specified paralytic syndrome. 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 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as G83.81 (Brown-Sequard syndrome), G83.84 (Todd's paralysis (postepileptic)) and G83.89 (Other specified paralytic syndromes). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
