This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Q39.3 and a single ICD9 code, 750.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
If the physician determines that the condition is acquired, assign code 530.3, Stricture and stenosis of esophagus. If the physician cannot determine whether the condition is congenital or acquired, the default in ICD-9-CM is congenital. However, Schatzky’s ring would be a reportable condition only if it meets the definition of a secondary diagnosis, in that it must be clinically significant or symptomatic. In most cases, when a Schatzky’s ring is found, it is an incidental finding."
Hence if it is not mentioned as congenital in older patients, use 530.3 (Stricture/stenosis of esophagus) as acquied which makes sense. No need to code dysphagia as it is a symptom of 530.3.
