About ICD-9-CM 868.12
868.12 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for injury to other intra-abdominal organs with open wound into cavity, bile duct and gallbladder. 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 S31.001A (Unspecified open wound of lower back and pelvis with penetration into retroperitoneum, initial encounter), S36.129A (Unspecified injury of gallbladder, initial encounter) and S36.13XA (Injury of bile duct, 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.
