E996.0 — Injury due to war operations by direct blast effect of nuclear weapon

E996.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for injury due to war operations by direct blast effect of nuclear weapon. 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 Y36.510A (War operations involving direct blast effect of nuclear weapon, military personnel, initial encounter) and Y36.511A (War operations involving direct blast effect of nuclear weapon, civilian, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
