About ICD-9-CM 60.18
60.18 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other diagnostic procedures on prostate and periprostatic tissue. 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 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0VJ40ZZ (Inspection of Prostate and Seminal Vesicles, Open Approach) and 0VJ44ZZ (Inspection of Prostate and Seminal Vesicles, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
