Other nonspecific abnormal serum enzyme levels
  • Short description: ABN SERUM ENZY LEVEL NEC.
  • ICD-9-CM 790.5 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 790.5 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).
