About ICD-9-CM 87.08
87.08 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for cervical lymphangiogram. 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 3 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as B7040ZZ (Plain Radiography of Head and Neck Lymphatics using High Osmolar Contrast), B7041ZZ (Plain Radiography of Head and Neck Lymphatics using Low Osmolar Contrast) and B704YZZ (Plain Radiography of Head and Neck Lymphatics using Other Contrast). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
