ICD-9-CM procedure code (retired)
89.38 — Other nonoperative respiratory measurements
About ICD-9-CM 89.38
89.38 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for other nonoperative respiratory measurements. 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 14 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 4A0975Z (Measurement of Respiratory Flow, Via Natural or Artificial Opening), 4A097CZ (Measurement of Respiratory Rate, Via Natural or Artificial Opening) and 4A097DZ (Measurement of Respiratory Resistance, Via Natural or Artificial Opening). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
