- YES, the ICD10 translation table is NOT up to date. Indeed, we are currently trying to figure out whether we even WANT to do a mapping of the OLD/CURRENT codes to ICD10/CCI. So, let's now worry about it too much for now.
Additional Info
Use this code only if it shows up on a chest X-ray as a problem or is causing significant respiratory distress which requires aggressive intervention.
