ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
37.74 — Insertion or replacement of epicardial lead [electrode] into epicardium
About ICD-9-CM 37.74
37.74 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for insertion or replacement of epicardial lead [electrode] into epicardium. 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 16 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 02HN0JZ (Insertion of Pacemaker Lead into Pericardium, Open Approach), 02HN0JZ (Insertion of Pacemaker Lead into Pericardium, Open Approach) and 02HN0MZ (Insertion of Cardiac Lead into Pericardium, Open 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.
