About ICD-9-CM 816.01
816.01 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for closed fracture of middle or proximal phalanx or phalanges of hand. 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 5 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S62.513A (Displaced fracture of proximal phalanx of unspecified thumb, initial encounter for closed fracture), S62.516A (Nondisplaced fracture of proximal phalanx of unspecified thumb, initial encounter for closed fracture) and S62.629A (Displaced fracture of middle phalanx of unspecified finger, initial encounter for closed fracture). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
