About ICD-9-CM 638.0
638.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for failed attempted abortion complicated by genital tract and pelvic infection. 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as O07.0 (Genital tract and pelvic infection following failed attempted termination of pregnancy) and O07.37 (Sepsis following failed attempted termination of pregnancy). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
