Subdural hematoma, traumatic. Subdural hemorrhage, after injury. Traumatic subdural hematoma with no loss of consciousness. Traumatic subdural hematoma without loss of consciousness. ICD-10-CM S06.5X0A is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group (s) (MS-DRG v38.0): 082 Traumatic stupor and coma >1 hour with mcc.
Traumatic subdural hemorrhage without loss of consciousness, initial encounter. S06.5X0A is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2021 edition of ICD-10-CM S06.5X0A became effective on October 1, 2020.
Patient was taken to the OR for burr hole drainage of subdural hematoma. Small incision made in the right temporal area and then burr hole with drain placement.

percutaneousThe term “burr hole” is almost always indicative of a percutaneous procedure. However, in some cases, the surgeon will make multiple burr holes and then remove the skull bone that is between the burr holes (like in a triangle) to actually get down to the operative site of the brain.
Is a Burr Hole a Craniotomy? A craniotomy is a surgical procedure where your doctor temporarily removes a piece of your skull called a bone flap. A part of your skull is also removed during a burr hole procedure, making it technically a type of craniotomy. However, it's usually labeled as a separate procedure.

The physician documents an evacuation of a hematoma by incision from the right breast, post-excisional biopsy. Even though the term “evacuation” is not a root operation, it can be found in the alphabetical index as a main term. The sub-term “Hematoma” is listed under Evacuation followed by “see Extirpation.”
Burr hole surgery is the main treatment for subdural haematomas that develop a few days or weeks after a minor head injury (chronic subdural haematomas). During the procedure, one or more small holes are drilled in the skull and a flexible rubber tube is inserted to drain the haematoma.
Using a special drill, a surgeon drills one or two small holes in the skull to expose the dura. The surgeon then opens the dura and drains any excess fluid to reduce pressure within the skull. The surgeon may then place a temporary drain to continue to drain the fluid. Or the dura and scalp will be closed right away.

The ICD-10-PCS code will now be 00C40ZZ. Once you are able to determine the root operation, you can review the operative report for the information that will lead to the appropriate approach.
Subdural evacuation is a surgical procedure to remove a subdural hematoma (SDH) – a pooling of blood on the brain. Subdural hematomas are categorized as acute, subacute, and chronic. An SDH may be caused by trauma but can also be spontaneous or may be caused by a procedure, such as lumbar puncture.

A Craniectomy is similar to a craniotomy as both procedures involve removing a portion of the skull, the difference is that after a craniotomy the bone is replaced and after a craniectomy the bone is not immediately replaced.
A craniotomy is type of brain surgery. It involves removing part of the skull, or cranium, to access the brain. The bone is replaced when the surgery is done. In general, a craniotomy is done to remove brain tumors and treat aneurysms.
(KRAY-nee-AH-toh-mee) An operation in which a piece of the skull is removed. A craniotomy may be done so doctors can remove a brain tumor or abnormal brain tissue.
Craniectomy is neurosurgical procedure that involves removing a portion of the skull in order to relieve pressure on the underlying brain.
The physician documents an evacuation of a hematoma by incision from the right breast, post-excisional biopsy.

Since we are still working with a draft copy of ICD-10-CM/PCS, time remains for CMS to consider resolving these types of issues before the final version goes into effect on October 1, 2014.
The letters OHCT following the last entry of the index indicate that the coder must find the appropriate PCS table labeled 0HC and the fourth character of T. (Note that only a portion of the actual table is provided below.)
Extirpation is the process of taking out, or cutting out, solid matter from a body part. This root operation includes a wide range of procedures with the objective of removing solid material such as a foreign body from the body part. The solid matter may be an abnormal byproduct of a biological function or a foreign body that is imbedded in a body part or in the lumen of a tubular body part. The solid matter may or may not have been previously broken into pieces. Examples include 1) mechanical thrombectomy and 2) an excision of a retained foreign body from subcutaneous tissue.
Drainage is the process of taking out, or letting out, fluids and/or gases from a body part. This root operation is coded for both diagnostic and therapeutic drainage procedures. Examples of this type of procedure include 1) thoracentesis and 2) the incision and drainage of an abdominal wall abscess.
As most of us have learned by now, the root-operation character in ICD-10-PCS defines the objective of the procedure. There are 31 root operations in the Medical and Surgical Section of ICD-10-PCS, and two of these are discussed below.
The PCS guidelines (A11) also state that physicians are not required to use the same terminology as is found in the PCS code descriptions. It is the coder’s responsibility to determine what the medical record documentation means in relation to the PCS definitions.
