About ICD-9-CM 778.8
778.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specified conditions involving the integument of fetus and newborn. 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 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as P83.81 (Umbilical granuloma) and P83.88 (Other specified conditions of integument specific to newborn). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
