About ICD-9-CM 99.77
99.77 is an ICD-9-CM procedure code for application or administration of an adhesion barrier substance. 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 9 ICD-10-PCS codes, such as 3E0L05Z (Introduction of Adhesion Barrier into Pleural Cavity, Open Approach), 3E0L35Z (Introduction of Adhesion Barrier into Pleural Cavity, Percutaneous Approach) and 3E0L45Z (Introduction of Adhesion Barrier into Pleural Cavity, Percutaneous Endoscopic Approach). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
