About ICD-9-CM 851.83

851.83 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified cerebral laceration and contusion, without mention of open intracranial wound, with moderate [1-24 hours] loss of consciousness. 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 S06.333A (Contusion and laceration of cerebrum, unspecified, with loss of consciousness of 1 hour to 5 hours 59 minutes, initial encounter) and S06.334A (Contusion and laceration of cerebrum, unspecified, with loss of consciousness of 6 hours to 24 hours, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
