Postprocedural hemorrhage of a nervous system organ or structure following a procedure

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 2 more specific codes instead:

G97.51 Postprocedural hemorrhage of a nervous system organ or structure following a nervous system procedure
G97.52 Postprocedural hemorrhage of a nervous system organ or structure following other procedure

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 Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of a nervous system organ or structure following a procedure
FY2017 Description revised ~~Postprocedural hemorrhage and hematoma of a nervous system organ or structure following a procedure~~ Postprocedural hemorrhage of a nervous system organ or structure following a procedure
