About ICD-9-CM 86.02
86.02 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for injection or tattooing of skin lesion or defect. 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 5 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 3E00X3Z (Introduction of Anti-inflammatory into Skin and Mucous Membranes, External Approach), 3E00X4Z (Introduction of Serum, Toxoid and Vaccine into Skin and Mucous Membranes, External Approach) and 3E00XBZ (Introduction of Anesthetic Agent into Skin and Mucous Membranes, External Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
