About ICD-9-CM 940.5

940.5 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for burn with resulting rupture and destruction of eyeball. 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 T26.20XA (Burn with resulting rupture and destruction of unspecified eyeball, initial encounter) and T26.70XA (Corrosion with resulting rupture and destruction of unspecified eyeball, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
