About ICD-9-CM 820.19
820.19 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other open transcervical fracture of neck of femur. 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 S72.099B (Other fracture of head and neck of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type I or II) and S72.099C (Other fracture of head and neck of unspecified femur, initial encounter for open fracture type IIIA, IIIB, or IIIC). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
