About ICD-9-CM 79.17
79.17 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for closed reduction of fracture with internal fixation, tarsals and metatarsals. 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 12 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0QSL34Z (Reposition Right Tarsal with Internal Fixation Device, Percutaneous Approach), 0QSL44Z (Reposition Right Tarsal with Internal Fixation Device, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach) and 0QSM34Z (Reposition Left Tarsal with Internal Fixation Device, Percutaneous Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
