About ICD-9-CM 560.9

560.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for unspecified intestinal obstruction. 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 K56.600 (Partial intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to cause), K56.601 (Complete intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to cause) and K56.609 (Unspecified intestinal obstruction, unspecified as to partial versus complete obstruction). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
