About ICD-9-CM 941.52
941.52 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for deep necrosis of underlying tissues [deep third degree] with loss of a body part, of eye (with other parts of face, head, and neck). 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 3 ICD-10-CM codes, such as T26.20XA (Burn with resulting rupture and destruction of unspecified eyeball, initial encounter), T26.21XA (Burn with resulting rupture and destruction of right eyeball, initial encounter) and T26.22XA (Burn with resulting rupture and destruction of left eyeball, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
