Other specified disorders of amino-acid metabolism
  • Short description: DIS AMINO-ACID METAB NEC.
  • ICD-9-CM 270.8 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 270.8 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).
