About ICD-9-CM 42.29

42.29 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other diagnostic procedures on esophagus. 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 4 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0DJ00ZZ (Inspection of Upper Intestinal Tract, Open Approach), 0DJ03ZZ (Inspection of Upper Intestinal Tract, Percutaneous Approach) and 0DJ07ZZ (Inspection of Upper Intestinal Tract, Via Natural or Artificial Opening). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
