About ICD-9-CM 577.8
577.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specified diseases of pancreas. 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 K86.1 (Other chronic pancreatitis), K86.81 (Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency) and K86.89 (Other specified diseases of pancreas). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
