About ICD-9-CM 887.0
887.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for traumatic amputation of arm and hand (complete) (partial), unilateral, below elbow, 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 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S58.119A (Complete traumatic amputation at level between elbow and wrist, unspecified arm, initial encounter), S58.129A (Partial traumatic amputation at level between elbow and wrist, unspecified arm, initial encounter) and S58.919A (Complete traumatic amputation of unspecified forearm, level unspecified, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
