819.0 — Multiple closed fractures involving both upper limbs, and upper limb with rib(s) and sternum

819.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for multiple closed fractures involving both upper limbs, and upper limb with rib(s) and sternum. 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S22.20XA (Unspecified fracture of sternum, initial encounter for closed fracture), S22.49XA (Multiple fractures of ribs, unspecified side, initial encounter for closed fracture) and S42.90XA (Fracture of unspecified shoulder girdle, part unspecified, initial encounter for closed 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.
