Encounter for preprocedural laboratory examination 812 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM Z01. 812 became effective on October 1, 2021.
(hye-dro-sef-uh-lus) the abnormal buildup of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain. A disorder characterized by an abnormal increase of cerebrospinal fluid in the ventricles of the brain.

General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
