About ICD-9-CM 87.16
87.16 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other x-ray of facial bones. 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 17 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as B90FZZZ (Plain Radiography of Nasopharynx/Oropharynx), B90HZZZ (Plain Radiography of Mastoids) and BN01ZZZ (Plain Radiography of Right Orbit). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
