About ICD-9-CM 756.3
756.3 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other anomalies of ribs and sternum. 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 Q76.6 (Other congenital malformations of ribs), Q76.7 (Congenital malformation of sternum) and Q77.2 (Short rib syndrome). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
