About ICD-9-CM 81.08
81.08 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for lumbar and lumbosacral fusion of the anterior column, posterior technique. 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 54 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0SG007J (Fusion of Lumbar Vertebral Joint with Autologous Tissue Substitute, Posterior Approach, Anterior Column, Open Approach), 0SG00JJ (Fusion of Lumbar Vertebral Joint with Synthetic Substitute, Posterior Approach, Anterior Column, Open Approach) and 0SG00KJ (Fusion of Lumbar Vertebral Joint with Nonautologous Tissue Substitute, Posterior Approach, Anterior Column, Open Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
