ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
806.13 — Open fracture of C1-C4 level with central cord syndrome
About ICD-9-CM 806.13
806.13 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of C1-C4 level with central cord syndrome. 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 12 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S12.000B (Unspecified displaced fracture of first cervical vertebra, initial encounter for open fracture), S12.001B (Unspecified nondisplaced fracture of first cervical vertebra, initial encounter for open fracture) and S12.100B (Unspecified displaced fracture of second cervical vertebra, initial encounter for open fracture). 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.
