Full Answer
As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use the following two equivalent ICD-10-CM codes, which are an approximate match to ICD-9 code 719.07:
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
719.07 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of effusion of joint, ankle and foot. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.
References found for the code 719.07 in the Index of Diseases and Injuries:
Your ankle bone and the ends of your two lower leg bones make up the ankle joint. Your ligaments, which connect bones to one another, stabilize and support it. Your muscles and tendons move it.
General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
