ICD ICD-10 for Laparoscopic Converted to Open Procedure

[DiCamille]

Hello Forum ~

With ICD-9, we used V64.41. Has anyone found an ICD-10 to describe this scenario?

 

[Paul A]

according to the GEMS files there is no mapping for this code from I9 to I10. Maybe WHO doesn't think its an important status to keep track of?

Thanks for your thoughts, Paul!

I had not found it in the GEMs reference of Find-A-Code either. Was just wondering if someone had encountered something along the way.

I googled ICD-10 for Laparoscopic Converted to Open Procedure and found a discussion in the AAPC forum where someone asked the very same question in October 2015. According to the discussion, there is no ICD-10 code for laparoscopic converted to open procedure. However, there may be one in the future, but for right now no code for it.

A belated thanks for your reply, Carolyn. Glad I wasn't overlooking something.
