About ICD-9-CM 709.3
709.3 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for degenerative skin disorders. 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 L92.1 (Necrobiosis lipoidica, not elsewhere classified), L94.2 (Calcinosis cutis) and L98.8 (Other specified disorders of the skin and subcutaneous tissue). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
