What does Closed Head Injury mean? A closed head injury is a type of traumatic brain injury which is caused when the brain rapidly accelerates and decelerates within the skull, causing damage to the brain.
Therefore, based on the index, code S09.90xA is assigned for documentation of closed head injury (initial encounter). If documentation supports that the patient had loss of consciousness with the closed head injury, assign a code from subcategory S06.9, Unspecified intracranial injury.
If the TBI is documented only as a closed head injury without further description, assign code 959.01. A closed head injury occurs when a person receives a hard blow to the head from striking an object, but the object did not break the skull.
Therefore, based on the index, code S09. 90xA is assigned for documentation of closed head injury (initial encounter). If documentation supports that the patient had loss of consciousness with the closed head injury, assign a code from subcategory S06. 9, Unspecified intracranial injury.
