About ICD-9-CM 906.8
906.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effect of burns of other specified sites. 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 4 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T21.00XS (Burn of unspecified degree of trunk, unspecified site, sequela), T21.40XS (Corrosion of unspecified degree of trunk, unspecified site, sequela) and T28.40XS (Burn of unspecified internal organ, sequela). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
