About ICD-9-CM 478.19
478.19 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other disease of nasal cavity and sinuses. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as J34.0 (Abscess, furuncle and carbuncle of nose), J34.1 (Cyst and mucocele of nose and nasal sinus) and J34.89 (Other specified disorders of nose and nasal sinuses). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
