ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
37.26 — Catheter based invasive electrophysiologic testing
About ICD-9-CM 37.26
37.26 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for catheter based invasive electrophysiologic testing. 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 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 3E053KZ (Introduction of Other Diagnostic Substance into Peripheral Artery, Percutaneous Approach), 3E063KZ (Introduction of Other Diagnostic Substance into Central Artery, Percutaneous Approach) and 4A023FZ (Measurement of Cardiac Rhythm, 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.
