As of October 2015, ICD-9 codes are no longer used for medical coding. Instead, use the following three equivalent ICD-10-CM codes, which are an approximate match to ICD-9 code 924.3:
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis.
A bruise, or contusion, is a type of hematoma of tissue in which capillaries and sometimes venules are damaged by trauma, allowing blood to seep, hemorrhage, or extravasate into the surrounding interstitial tissues. Bruises, which do not blanch under pressure, can involve capillaries at the level of skin, subcutaneous tissue, muscle, or bone.
DRG Group #604-605 - Trauma to the skin, subcut tissue and breast with MCC.
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 S90.229A and a single ICD9 code, 924.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
