The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
Epilepsy, unspecified, not intractable A group of disorders marked by problems in the normal functioning of the brain. These problems can produce seizures, unusual body movements, a loss of consciousness or changes in consciousness, as well as mental problems or problems with the senses.

G40. 909 Epilepsy, unsp, not intractable, without status epilepticus - ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Codes.
1 : not easily governed, managed, or directed intractable problems. 2 : not easily relieved or cured intractable pain.
9 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of R56. 9 - other international versions of ICD-10 R56.
If trauma related, ICD-10-CM code R56. 1 (post-traumatic seizures) may be appropriate, depending on the circumstances outlined in the documentation.
Non-convulsive status epilepticus is more common in idiopathic (genetic) generalized epilepsy and characteristically demonstrates frequent episodes of absence seizure with a clear onset and offset, with associated myoclonus being common. It often terminates with a generalized tonic-clonic seizure.
Intractable epilepsy is when seizures can't be completely controlled by medicines. (Intractable means "not easily managed or relieved.") It's also called refractory, uncontrolled, or drug-resistant epilepsy.
Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which a person has repeated seizures. Also called a seizure disorder, epilepsy may be diagnosed when the patient has two or more unprovoked seizures. A seizure episode is classified to ICD-9-CM code 780.39, Other convulsions.
There are four main types of epilepsy: focal, generalized, combination focal and generalized, and unknown. A person's seizure type determines what kind of epilepsy they have. Different types of seizures affect the brain in different ways.
When they occur throughout the whole brain, it's known as a generalized seizure. These seizures cause symptoms in the entire body. This type of epilepsy was previously known as generalized convulsive epilepsy. A generalized seizure may also be known as a generalized tonic-clonic seizure or a grand mal seizure.
The definition of intractable is not easily controlled or hard to work. An example of intractable used as an adjective is an intractable clay which means clay that is difficult to shape. Difficult to mold or manipulate.
Code Assignment A seizure episode is classified to ICD-9-CM code 780.39, Other convulsions. This code also includes convulsive disorder not otherwise specified (NOS), fit NOS, and recurrent convulsions NOS. Basically, code 780.39 is for the single episode of a seizure.

If you document the word “seizure”, the patient will be coded with R56. 9, unspecified convulsions, even if you meant that the patient has epilepsy.
If documentation does not indicate a specific cause for the seizure-like activity it is appropriate to code R56. 9 for unspecified convulsions.
