ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
88.93 — Magnetic resonance imaging of spinal canal
About ICD-9-CM 88.93
88.93 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for magnetic resonance imaging of spinal canal. 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 B03BY0Z (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Spinal Cord using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced), B03BYZZ (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Spinal Cord using Other Contrast) and B03BZZZ (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Spinal Cord). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
