About ICD-9-CM 911.8
911.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for other and unspecified superficial injury of trunk, without mention of infection. 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 7 ICD-10-CM codes, such as S20.109A (Unspecified superficial injuries of breast, unspecified breast, initial encounter), S20.90XA (Unspecified superficial injury of unspecified parts of thorax, initial encounter) and S30.91XA (Unspecified superficial injury of lower back and pelvis, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
