Specific code 2010 ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 138
Late effects of acute poliomyelitis
  • Short description: Late effect acute polio.
  • ICD-9-CM 138 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, 138 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).
  • You are viewing the 2010 version of ICD-9-CM 138.
  • More recent version(s) of ICD-9-CM 138: 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015.
Convert to ICD-10-CM: 138 converts approximately to:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM B91 Sequelae of poliomyelitis
    Or:
  • 2015/16 ICD-10-CM G14 Postpolio syndrome
Note
This category is to be used to indicate conditions classifiable to 045 as the cause of late effects, which are themselves classified elsewhere. The "late effects" include conditions specified as such, or as sequelae, or as due to old or inactive poliomyelitis, without evidence of active disease.
This category is to be used to indicate conditions classifiable to categories 001-009, 020-041, 046-136 as the cause of late effects, which are themselves classified elsewhere. The "late effects" include conditions specified as such; they also include sequela of diseases classifiable to the above categories if there is evidence that the disease itself is no longer present.

ICD-9-CM codes are used in medical billing and coding to describe diseases, injuries, symptoms and conditions. ICD-9-CM 138 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?
