Question: What diagnosis code can we submit for a left uretero-intestinal anastomotic stricture?
New York Subscriber
Answer: For stricture in the ureter, you can submit ICD-9 code 593.3 (Stricture or kinking of ureter). Later this year, when you switch to ICD-10, you will use code N13.5 (Crossing vessel and stricture of ureter without hydronephrosis).
