About ICD-9-CM 878.0

878.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for open wound of penis, 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 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S31.20XA (Unspecified open wound of penis, initial encounter), S38.221A (Complete traumatic amputation of penis, initial encounter) and S38.222A (Partial traumatic amputation of penis, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
