ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
88.94 — Magnetic resonance imaging of musculoskeletal
About ICD-9-CM 88.94
88.94 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for magnetic resonance imaging of musculoskeletal. 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 BL30Y0Z (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Connective Tissue using Other Contrast, Unenhanced and Enhanced), BL30YZZ (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Connective Tissue using Other Contrast) and BL30ZZZ (Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of Upper Extremity Connective Tissue). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
