About ICD-9-CM 701.9
701.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for unspecified hypertrophic and atrophic conditions of skin. 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 L90.9 (Atrophic disorder of skin, unspecified), L91.9 (Hypertrophic disorder of the skin, unspecified) and L98.7 (Excessive and redundant skin and subcutaneous tissue). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
