About ICD-9-CM 861.12

861.12 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for laceration of heart without penetration of heart chambers, with open wound into thorax. 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 S21.309A (Unspecified open wound of unspecified front wall of thorax with penetration into thoracic cavity, initial encounter), S26.020A (Mild laceration of heart with hemopericardium, initial encounter) and S26.92XA (Laceration of heart, unspecified with or without hemopericardium, 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.
