- Legacy / Not Valid for Submission
- Replaced October 1, 2015
920 is a legacy ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for contusion of face, scalp, and neck except eye(s). It was valid on U.S. claims through September 30, 2015 and cannot be reported for services on or after October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM replaced the ICD-9 code set. Under the CMS General Equivalence Mappings, it maps to 2 ICD-10-CM candidates: S00.93XA and S10.93XA.

Information for Patients
Bruises
A bruise is a mark on your skin caused by blood trapped under the surface. It happens when an injury crushes small blood vessels but does not break the skin. Those vessels break open and leak blood under the skin.

Questions About 920
Is 920 (contusion of face, scalp, and neck except eye(s)) still a valid code?
No. This code belonged to ICD-9-CM, which the United States retired after September 30, 2015. Claims with dates of service on or after October 1, 2015 must use ICD-10-CM codes, such as S00.93XA and S10.93XA.
What is the ICD-10 replacement for 920?
The General Equivalence Mappings list 2 ICD-10-CM candidates for this code: S00.93XA (Contusion of unspecified part of head, initial encounter) and S10.93XA (Contusion of unspecified part of neck, initial encounter). Each match is approximate, so the right choice depends on what the documentation supports.
What did 920 mean?
In the final ICD-9-CM release, this code described contusion of face, scalp, and neck except eye(s). It sat in block 920 Contusion of face, scalp, and neck except eye(s) under Injury and poisoning (800–999).
Why does 920 map to more than one ICD-10 code?
ICD-10-CM is more specific than ICD-9-CM. The detail packed into this single legacy code was split across S00.93XA and S10.93XA, so the General Equivalence Mappings list every candidate rather than forcing one. The correct target is the one the documentation supports.
