About ICD-9-CM 947.8
947.8 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for burn of other specified sites of internal organs. 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 T28.49XA (Burn of other internal organ, initial encounter) and T28.99XA (Corrosions of other internal organs, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
