About ICD-9-CM V53.09
V53.09 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for fitting and adjustment of other devices related to nervous system and special senses. 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as Z45.31 (Encounter for adjustment and management of implanted visual substitution device), Z45.328 (Encounter for adjustment and management of other implanted hearing device) and Z45.49 (Encounter for adjustment and management of other implanted nervous system device). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
