About ICD-9-CM 848.8

848.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other specified sites of sprains and strains. 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 S03.9XXA (Sprain of joints and ligaments of unspecified parts of head, initial encounter), S29.019A (Strain of muscle and tendon of unspecified wall of thorax, initial encounter) and S39.011A (Strain of muscle, fascia and tendon of abdomen, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
