About ICD-9-CM 996.72
996.72 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other complications due to other cardiac device, implant, and graft. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 9 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T82.817A (Embolism due to cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter), T82.827A (Fibrosis due to cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter) and T82.837A (Hemorrhage due to cardiac prosthetic devices, implants and grafts, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
