About ICD-9-CM 084.9
084.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other pernicious complications of malaria. 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 6 ICD-10-CM codes, such as B50.0 (Plasmodium falciparum malaria with cerebral complications), B50.8 (Other severe and complicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria) and B51.0 (Plasmodium vivax malaria with rupture of spleen). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
