About ICD-9-CM 78.59
78.59 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for internal fixation of bone without fracture reduction, other bones. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-PCS took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 33 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0PH304Z (Insertion of Internal Fixation Device into Cervical Vertebra, Open Approach), 0PH334Z (Insertion of Internal Fixation Device into Cervical Vertebra, Percutaneous Approach) and 0PH344Z (Insertion of Internal Fixation Device into Cervical Vertebra, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
