About ICD-9-CM 854.03
854.03 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for intracranial injury of other and unspecified nature 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S06.1X3A (Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of 1 hour to 5 hours 59 minutes, initial encounter), S06.1X4A (Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of 6 hours to 24 hours, initial encounter) and S06.9X3A (Unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of 1 hour to 5 hours 59 minutes, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
