About ICD-9-CM 834.11
834.11 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open dislocation of metacarpophalangeal (joint). 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 S61.409A (Unspecified open wound of unspecified hand, initial encounter), S63.116A (Dislocation of metacarpophalangeal joint of unspecified thumb, initial encounter) and S63.269A (Dislocation of metacarpophalangeal joint of unspecified finger, 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.
