Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 8 more specific codes instead:

G97.0 Cerebrospinal fluid leak from spinal puncture
G97.1 Other reaction to spinal and lumbar puncture
G97.2 Intracranial hypotension following ventricular shunting
G97.3 Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a nervous system organ or structure complicating a procedure (also a header)
G97.4 Accidental puncture and laceration of a nervous system organ or structure during a procedure (also a header)
G97.5 Postprocedural hemorrhage of a nervous system organ or structure following a procedure (also a header)
G97.6 Postprocedural hematoma and seroma of a nervous system organ or structure following a procedure (also a header)
G97.8 Other intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of nervous system (also a header)

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of nervous system, not elsewhere classified
