About ICD-9-CM 44.67
44.67 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for laparoscopic procedures for creation of esophagogastric sphincteric competence. 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 0DV44CZ (Restriction of Esophagogastric Junction with Extraluminal Device, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach), 0DV44DZ (Restriction of Esophagogastric Junction with Intraluminal Device, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 0DV44ZZ (Restriction of Esophagogastric Junction, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
