About ICD-9-CM V50.49
V50.49 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other prophylactic gland removal. 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 Z40.00 (Encounter for prophylactic removal of unspecified organ), Z40.03 (Encounter for prophylactic removal of fallopian tube(s)) and Z40.09 (Encounter for prophylactic removal of other organ). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
