About ICD-9-CM 853.03
853.03 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified intracranial hemorrhage following injury 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 S06.363A (Traumatic hemorrhage of cerebrum, unspecified, with loss of consciousness of 1 hours to 5 hours 59 minutes, initial encounter) and S06.364A (Traumatic hemorrhage 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.
