About ICD-9-CM 813.15
813.15 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open fracture of head of radius. 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S52.123B (Displaced fracture of head of unspecified radius, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II), S52.123C (Displaced fracture of head of unspecified radius, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC) and S52.126B (Nondisplaced fracture of head of unspecified radius, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II).
