Overview. Intracerebral hemorrhage is a common complication of traumatic brain injury. Traumatic brain injuries can be classified into three major groups: closed head injury, penetrating injury, and explosive blast injury. Blast injuries appear to have a high risk for traumatic pseudoaneurysm formation.
Anatomical Compartments of Intracranial Hemorrhage. Intracranial hemorrhage is diagnosed by its anatomical location. Intraparenchymal hemorrhage (IPH; Figure 1) refers to nontraumatic bleeding into the brain parenchyma. (Intracerebral hemorrhage, often abbreviated ICH, is used more often in the clinical literature.)
1. TBI diagnostic code: S06.
It is important to understand the difference between the terms intracranial hemorrhage and intracerebral hemorrhage. The former refers to all bleeding occurring within the skull, while the latter indicates bleeding within the brain parenchyma. All intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) share some classic clinical features.
Other nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage I61. 8 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 I61. 8 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Unspecified injury of head, initial encounter S09. 90XA 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 S09. 90XA became effective on October 1, 2021.
ICD-10 code Z87. 820 for Personal history of traumatic brain injury is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
The level of injury is based on the status of the patient at the time of injury, based on observable signs such as level of consciousness, post-traumatic amnesia and coma scaling. If the psychomotor Neurobehavioral Status Exam is completed, the provider should also utilize the CPT code 96116.
