What ICD-10 codes are used for SDH?
A subdural hematoma occurs when blood collects abnormally beneath the dura mater—the tough outer membrane that protects the brain and spinal cord and lies just beneath the skull.
Here's a list of the ICD-10 codes for subdural hematoma (SDH) that practitioners can use for billing, coding, documentation, etc.:
Traumatic subdural hematoma
- S06.5X0A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage without loss of consciousness, initial encounter
- S06.5X1A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of 30 minutes or less, initial encounter
- S06.5X2A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of 31 minutes to 59 minutes, initial encounter
- S06.5X3A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of 1 hour to 5 hours 59 minutes, initial encounter
- S06.5X4A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of 6 hours to 24 hours, initial encounter
- S06.5X5A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness greater than 24 hours with return to pre-existing conscious level, initial encounter
- S06.5X6A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness greater than 24 hours without return to pre-existing conscious level with patient surviving, initial encounter
- S06.5X7A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to brain injury before regaining consciousness, initial encounter
- S06.5X8A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of any duration with death due to other cause before regaining consciousness, initial encounter
- S06.5X9A - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration, initial encounter
- S06.5XAA - Traumatic subdural hemorrhage with loss of consciousness status unknown, initial encounter
Non-traumatic subdural hematoma
- I62.01 - Nontraumatic acute subdural hemorrhage
- I62.02 - Nontraumatic subacute subdural hemorrhage
- I62.03 - Nontraumatic chronic subdural hemorrhage
- I62.00 - Nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage, unspecified
For the traumatic subdural hematoma codes, please note that all of those are for initial encounters. For subsequent encounters, replace the last letter with a D. For sequela, replace the letter with an S.
