About ICD-9-CM E838.9

The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 2 ICD-10-CM codes, such as V94.89XA (Other water transport accident, initial encounter) and V94.9XXA (Unspecified water transport accident, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
