Equivalent ICD-9 Codes GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Congenital anomaly of tongue, unspecified (approximate match)
Aglossia (approximate match)
Congenital adhesions of tongue (approximate match)
Fissure of tongue (approximate match)
Microglossia (approximate match)
Other congenital anomalies of tongue (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Q38.3 and a single ICD9 code, 750.19 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
