854.19 — Intracranial injury of other and unspecified nature with open intracranial wound, with concussion, unspecified

854.19 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for intracranial injury of other and unspecified nature with open intracranial wound, with concussion, unspecified. 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 S01.90XA (Unspecified open wound of unspecified part of head, initial encounter), S06.890A (Other specified intracranial injury without loss of consciousness, initial encounter) and S06.899A (Other specified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, 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.
