About ICD-9-CM 876.0

876.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open wound of back, without mention of complication. 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 S21.209A (Unspecified open wound of unspecified back wall of thorax without penetration into thoracic cavity, initial encounter) and S31.000A (Unspecified open wound of lower back and pelvis without penetration into retroperitoneum, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
