About ICD-9-CM 802.38

802.38 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of mandible, body, other and unspecified. 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 S02.600B (Fracture of unspecified part of body of mandible, unspecified side, initial encounter for open fracture), S02.601B (Fracture of unspecified part of body of right mandible, initial encounter for open fracture) and S02.602B (Fracture of unspecified part of body of left mandible, initial encounter for open fracture). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
