Wiki Dx code help?

[Kelly_Mayumi]

Has anyone had to use or found a code for a duplicate vena cava?

Thanks!

Try 747.40 anomaly of great veins, unspecified. In ICD-9 2009 Physician page 252 lists Anomaly NOS of: pulmonary veins, vena cava

Thanks Anna Weaver! That's what I was leaning toward, but wasn't quite sure. Thanks again and have a great day!
