About ICD-9-CM V70.8
V70.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specified general medical examinations. 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 Z00.5 (Encounter for examination of potential donor of organ and tissue) and Z00.8 (Encounter for other general examination). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
