About ICD-9-CM 997.99
997.99 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for complications affecting other specified body systems, not elsewhere classified. 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 6 ICD-10-CM codes, such as E89.89 (Other postprocedural endocrine and metabolic complications and disorders), H59.099 (Other disorders of unspecified eye following cataract surgery) and H59.88 (Other intraoperative complications of eye and adnexa, not elsewhere classified). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
