70.79 — Other repair of vagina
About ICD-9-CM 70.79
70.79 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other repair of vagina. 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 16 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0UQG0ZZ (Repair Vagina, Open Approach), 0UQG0ZZ (Repair Vagina, Open Approach) and 0UQG3ZZ (Repair Vagina, Percutaneous Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
