I60.0 — Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from carotid siphon and bifurcation
Is I60.0 billable?
No — I60.0 is a non-billable header code. I60.0 groups more specific codes and cannot be submitted on a claim. A valid ICD-10-CM code must be reported at the highest level of specificity available in its branch. Select one of the 3 billable codes beneath I60.0.

How is I60.0 listed in the Alphabetic Index?
These are the routes through the Alphabetic Index that lead to I60.0. They show the wording a clinician may have documented, which often differs from the Tabular description.
- Aneurysm › carotid artery › ruptured into brain (anastomotic) (artery) (cirsoid) (diffuse) (false) (fusiform) (multiple) (saccular)
- Hemorrhage, hemorrhagic › intracranial › subarachnoid › intracranialartery › carotid siphon and bifurcation (concealed)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I60-I69
The conditions below can never be reported together with I60.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (S06.-)
Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I60
The conditions below can never be reported together with I60.0 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.
- syphilitic ruptured cerebral aneurysm (A52.05)

- certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
- complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
- congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)

What codes fall under I60.0? (3)
How long has I60.0 existed?
I60.0 has been in ICD-10-CM since at least FY2016, the earliest fiscal year on record here.
Derived from the official order files for FY2016–FY2026. FY2017 and FY2020 publish no order file, so those years are not covered.
