About ICD-9-CM V71.89

V71.89 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for observation and evaluation for other specified suspected conditions. 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 Z03.6 (Encounter for observation for suspected toxic effect from ingested substance ruled out) and Z03.89 (Encounter for observation for other suspected diseases and conditions ruled out). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
