plans or Medicare. There are ICD-9-CM diagnostic codes which would indicate a specific reason for extractions. However, in the absence of coverage for extractions there will often be coverage for cyst removal. The following ICD-9-CM codes may be used for cyst removal in con-junction with extractions. 522.8 Radicular Cyst Cyst: apical (periodontal)
Laryngoscopy procedures are coded using CPT 31505-31579. 2. Procedures designated as "direct" indicate the procedure is done using an endoscope. 3. Procedures designated as "indirect" indicate the procedure is done with a mirror, as opposed to using the endoscope.

An example of "other specified" might be a depressive episode that does not have the full number of symptoms to meet the formal diagnosis. By contrast, "unspecified" might be used in a situation in which there isn't enough information to make a more specific diagnosis.

As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use this equivalent ICD-10-CM code, which is an approximate match to ICD-9 code 311:
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
ICD-9 Volume 1 codes are 4 or 5 digits and appear in the format WXX.YZ where the ‘W’ represents a digit or a letter (‘E’ or ‘V’) and the final digit is optional.
ICD-9-CM is divided into 3 volumes. Volumes 1 and 2 represent that same data in two different formats. Volumes 1 and 2 contain Diagnosis codes. Volume 1 is known as the tabular format and organizes codes based on the code number (i.e. starts with 872.00, 872.01, etc.). ICD-9-CM volume 2 organizes codes into an index, allowing you to look up codes alphabetically by their description.
ICD-10 is broken into two types – ICD-10-CM contains Diagnosis codes and ICD-10-PCS contains Procedure codes. Like ICD-9, ICD-10 codes are only used for inpatient care. There are over 70,000 ICD-10 codes – approximately 5 times more codes than in ICD-9. ICD-10 codes are 3 to 7 characters long while ICD-9 codes are 3 to 5 digits in length.
ICD codes are used to capture medical diagnosis and procedure information about patients.
Section X codes are standalone codes. They are not supplemental codes. Section X codes fully represent the specific procedure described in the code title, and do not require any additional codes from other sections of ICD-10-PCS. When section X contains a code title which describes a specific new technology procedure, only that X code is reported for the procedure. There is no need to report a broader, non-specific code in another section of ICD-10-PCS.
ICD-9-CM (Clinical Modification) is a medical coding standard used in the United States from 1979 to October 1, 2015. ICD-9-CM is based on the international ICD specification created by the World Health Organization (WHO).
ICD-10-PCS codes are composed of seven characters. Each character is an axis of classification that specifies information about the procedure performed. Within a defined code range, a character specifies the same type of information in that axis of classification.
