About ICD-9-CM 88.51
88.51 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for angiocardiography of venae cavae. 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 12 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as B5080ZZ (Plain Radiography of Superior Vena Cava using High Osmolar Contrast), B5081ZZ (Plain Radiography of Superior Vena Cava using Low Osmolar Contrast) and B508YZZ (Plain Radiography of Superior Vena Cava using Other Contrast). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
