ICD-9-CM diagnosis code (retired)
998.2 — Accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure, not elsewhere classified
About ICD-9-CM 998.2
998.2 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for accidental puncture or laceration during a procedure, not elsewhere classified. 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 23 ICD-10-CM codes, such as D78.11 (Accidental puncture and laceration of the spleen during a procedure on the spleen), D78.12 (Accidental puncture and laceration of the spleen during other procedure) and E36.11 (Accidental puncture and laceration of an endocrine system organ or structure during an endocrine system procedure). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
