About ICD-9-CM 755.38
755.38 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for longitudinal deficiency, tarsals or metatarsals, complete or partial (with or without incomplete phalangeal deficiency). 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 Q72.30 (Congenital absence of unspecified foot and toe(s)) and Q72.70 (Split foot, unspecified lower limb). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
