About ICD-9-CM 730.06
730.06 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for acute osteomyelitis, lower leg. 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 M86.169 (Other acute osteomyelitis, unspecified tibia and fibula) and M86.269 (Subacute osteomyelitis, unspecified tibia and fibula). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
