About ICD-9-CM 908.9
908.9 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effect of unspecified injury. 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 16 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S09.90XS (Unspecified injury of head, sequela), S16.9XXS (Unspecified injury of muscle, fascia and tendon at neck level, sequela) and S29.9XXS (Unspecified injury of thorax, sequela). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
