ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
839.11 — Open dislocation, first cervical vertebra
About ICD-9-CM 839.11
839.11 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open dislocation, first cervical vertebra. 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S11.90XA (Unspecified open wound of unspecified part of neck, initial encounter) and S13.111A (Dislocation of C0/C1 cervical vertebrae, 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.
