| ICD-10 from 2011 - 2016

S01.90XA is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of unspecified open wound of unspecified part of head, initial encounter. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.


The ICD code S019 is used to code Penetrating head injury

A penetrating head injury, or open head injury, is a head injury in which the dura mater, the outer layer of the meninges, is breached. Penetrating injury can be caused by high-velocity projectiles or objects of lower velocity such as knives, or bone fragments from a skull fracture that are driven into the brain. Head injuries caused by penetrating trauma are serious medical emergencies and may cause permanent disability or death.

Equivalent ICD-9 Codes GENERAL EQUIVALENCE MAPPINGS (GEM)

Other and unspecified open wound of head without mention of complication (approximate match)
Other and unspecified open wound of head, complicated (approximate match)

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code S01.90XA and a single ICD9 code, 873.9 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
