About ICD-9-CM 800.95
800.95 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of vault of skull with intracranial injury of other and unspecified nature, with prolonged [more than 24 hours] loss of consciousness, without return to pre-existing conscious level. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 7 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S02.0XXB (Fracture of vault of skull, initial encounter for open fracture), S06.896A (Other specified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness greater than 24 hours without return to pre-existing conscious level with patient surviving, initial encounter) and S06.897A (Other specified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to brain injury prior to regaining consciousness, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one. Some mappings are combinations: more than one ICD-10 code is needed to fully express the ICD-9 code.
