Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I60-I69

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.85 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 I69

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.85 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • personal history of cerebral infarction without residual deficit (Z86.73)
  • personal history of prolonged reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (PRIND) (Z86.73)
  • personal history of reversible ischemic neurologcial deficit (RIND) (Z86.73)
  • sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Excludes1 — never code together — inherited from I69.8

The conditions below can never be reported together with I69.85 on the same claim. An Excludes1 note means the two conditions cannot occur in the same patient, so reporting both is a coding error.

  • sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Use additional code — inherited from I60-I69

Report an additional code alongside I69.85 to fully describe the condition. I69.85 is sequenced first.

  • code to identify presence of:

Excludes2 — not included here — inherited from Chapter 9

  • certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96)
  • certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99)
  • complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A)
  • congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99)

  • injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes (S00-T88)
  • neoplasms (C00-D49)
  • symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified (R00-R94)
  • systemic connective tissue disorders (M30-M36)
  • transient cerebral ischemic attacks and related syndromes (G45.-)
