About ICD-9-CM 756.9

756.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified anomalies of musculoskeletal system. 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 Q68.8 (Other specified congenital musculoskeletal deformities), Q79.8 (Other congenital malformations of musculoskeletal system) and Q79.9 (Congenital malformation of musculoskeletal system, unspecified). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
