About ICD-9-CM 38.08
38.08 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for incision of vessel, lower limb arteries. 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 60 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 04CK0ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Right Femoral Artery, Open Approach), 04CK4ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Right Femoral Artery, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 04CL0ZZ (Extirpation of Matter from Left Femoral Artery, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
