About ICD-9-CM 910.2
910.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for Blister of face, neck, and scalp except eye, without mention of infection. 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S00.02XA (Blister (nonthermal) of scalp, initial encounter), S00.32XA (Blister (nonthermal) of nose, initial encounter) and S00.429A (Blister (nonthermal) of unspecified ear, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
