I60

Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage

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 10 more specific codes instead:

  • I60.0 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from carotid siphon and bifurcation (also a header)
  • I60.1 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from middle cerebral artery (also a header)
  • I60.2 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from anterior communicating artery
  • I60.3 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from posterior communicating artery (also a header)
  • I60.4 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from basilar artery
  • I60.5 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from vertebral artery (also a header)
  • I60.6 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from other intracranial arteries
  • I60.7 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from unspecified intracranial artery
  • I60.8 Other nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
  • I60.9 Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, unspecified

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.
