About ICD-9-CM 96.01
96.01 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for insertion of nasopharyngeal airway. 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 2 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 09HN7BZ (Insertion of Airway into Nasopharynx, Via Natural or Artificial Opening) and 09HN8BZ (Insertion of Airway into Nasopharynx, Via Natural or Artificial Opening Endoscopic). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
