ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
V09.1 — Infection with microorganisms resistant to cephalosporins and other B-lactam antibiotics
About ICD-9-CM V09.1
V09.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for infection with microorganisms resistant to cephalosporins and other B-lactam antibiotics. 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 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as Z16.10 (Resistance to unspecified beta lactam antibiotics), Z16.12 (Extended spectrum beta lactamase (ESBL) resistance) and Z16.19 (Resistance to other specified beta lactam antibiotics). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
