About ICD-9-CM 756.0
756.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for anomalies of skull and face bones. 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 Q75.0 (Craniosynostosis), Q75.2 (Hypertelorism) and Q75.9 (Congenital malformation of skull and face bones, unspecified). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
