get_icd9cm2009
and get_icd9cm2013_leaf
. The
former includes three-digit ‘major’ down to the leaf/billable level,
and any intermediate descriptors, e.g. if a four-digit code is not
billable, and encompasses some five-digit codes, then the four digit code
would appear in get_icd9cm2014
but not
get_icd9cm2014_leaf
.
