ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
88.61 — Phlebography of veins of head and neck using contrast material
About ICD-9-CM 88.61
88.61 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for phlebography of veins of head and neck using contrast material. 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 30 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as B5010ZZ (Plain Radiography of Cerebral and Cerebellar Veins using High Osmolar Contrast), B5011ZZ (Plain Radiography of Cerebral and Cerebellar Veins using Low Osmolar Contrast) and B501YZZ (Plain Radiography of Cerebral and Cerebellar Veins using Other Contrast). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
