About ICD-9-CM 806.35
806.35 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of T7-T12 level with unspecified 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 S22.069B (Unspecified fracture of T7-T8 vertebra, initial encounter for open fracture), S22.079B (Unspecified fracture of T9-T10 vertebra, initial encounter for open fracture) and S22.089B (Unspecified fracture of T11-T12 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.
