2013 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 990
Effects of radiation, unspecified
- Short description: Effects radiation NOS.
- ICD-9-CM 990 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 990 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).
- You are viewing the 2013 version of ICD-9-CM 990.
- More recent version(s) of ICD-9-CM 990: 2014 2015.
