I am unable to decipher if the crosswalk is correct for Lumbar Neurogenic Claudication as follows:

ICD-9 724.03
ICD-10 M48.06

Can I get another confirmation that this is correct?
 
M48.06 is the code for Lumbar stenosis. There is no longer a separate code for lumbar stenosis with claudication and lumbar stenosis without claudication. If the patient has lumbar stenosis causing the claudication that would be the correct code.
