About ICD-9-CM E819.1
E819.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for motor vehicle traffic accident of unspecified nature injuring passenger in motor vehicle other than motorcycle. 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 V49.9XXA (Car occupant (driver) (passenger) injured in unspecified traffic accident, initial encounter), V59.9XXA (Occupant (driver) (passenger) of pick-up truck or van injured in unspecified traffic accident, initial encounter) and V69.9XXA (Occupant (driver) (passenger) of heavy transport vehicle injured in unspecified traffic accident, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
