About ICD-9-CM 805.8

805.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for closed fracture of unspecified vertebral column without mention of spinal cord injury. 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 5 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S12.9XXA (Fracture of neck, unspecified, initial encounter), S22.009A (Unspecified fracture of unspecified thoracic vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture) and S32.009A (Unspecified fracture of unspecified lumbar vertebra, initial encounter for closed fracture). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
