About ICD-9-CM 906.5
906.5 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effect of burn of eye, face, head, and neck. 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 T20.00XS (Burn of unspecified degree of head, face, and neck, unspecified site, sequela) and T20.40XS (Corrosion of unspecified degree of head, face, and neck, unspecified site, sequela). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
