About ICD-9-CM 854.06
854.06 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for intracranial injury of other and unspecified nature without mention of open intracranial wound, with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration. 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 S06.1X9A (Traumatic cerebral edema with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter) and S06.9X9A (Unspecified intracranial injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
