About ICD-9-CM 908.3
908.3 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effect of injury to blood vessel of head, neck, and extremities. 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 S09.0XXS (Injury of blood vessels of head, not elsewhere classified, sequela), S15.9XXS (Injury of unspecified blood vessel at neck level, sequela) and S45.909S (Unspecified injury of unspecified blood vessel at shoulder and upper arm level, unspecified arm, sequela). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
