About ICD-9-CM V02.59
V02.59 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for carrier or suspected carrier of other specified bacterial diseases. 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as Z22.31 (Carrier of bacterial disease due to meningococci) and Z22.39 (Carrier of other specified bacterial diseases). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
