About ICD-9-CM E998.1

E998.1 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for injury due to war operations but occurring after cessation of hostilities by explosion of bombs. 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 Y36.820A (Explosion of bomb placed during war operations but exploding after cessation of hostilities, military personnel, initial encounter) and Y36.821A (Explosion of bomb placed during war operations but exploding after cessation of hostilities, civilian, initial encounter). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
