Specific code 2009 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 326
Late effects of intracranial abscess or pyogenic infection
  • Short description: LATE EFF CNS ABSCESS.
  • ICD-9-CM 326 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 326 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).

  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM G09 Sequelae of inflammatory diseases of central nervous system
Note
This category is to be used to indicate conditions whose primary classification is to 320-325 [excluding 320.7, 321.0-321.8, 323.01-323.42, 323.61-323.72] as the cause of late effects, themselves classifiable elsewhere. The "late effects" include conditions specified as such, or as sequelae, which may occur at any time after the resolution of the causal condition.

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 326 is one of thousands of ICD-9-CM codes used in healthcare. Although ICD-9-CM and CPT codes are largely numeric, they differ in that CPT codes describe medical procedures and services. Can't find a code?
