About ICD-9-CM 804.46
804.46 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for closed fractures involving skull or face with other bones, with intracranial injury of other and unspecified nature, with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration. 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 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S02.91XA (Unspecified fracture of skull, initial encounter for closed fracture), S06.899A (Other specified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter) and S06.9X9A (Unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, 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.
