About ICD-9-CM 83.21
83.21 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for open biopsy of soft tissue. 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 168 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 0K900ZX (Drainage of Head Muscle, Open Approach, Diagnostic), 0K910ZX (Drainage of Facial Muscle, Open Approach, Diagnostic) and 0K920ZX (Drainage of Right Neck Muscle, Open Approach, Diagnostic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
