About ICD-9-CM 727.89
727.89 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other disorders of synovium, tendon, and bursa. 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 5 ICD-10-CM codes, such as M65.00 (Abscess of tendon sheath, unspecified site), M67.80 (Other specified disorders of synovium and tendon, unspecified site) and M67.88 (Other specified disorders of synovium and tendon, other site). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
