Wiki 789.50

[Jarts]

This is not a valid icd-9 code is it? I am getting conflicting information from another surgeon's office that we assist with.

789.51=malignant ascites
789.50=other ascites

 

[Jarts]

Isn't 789.59 other ascites?

There are only two listing under 789.5 that's 789.51 and 789.59. 789.50 is invalid
