What ICD-10 Codes are Used for TBI
S06.0
This TBI ICD 10 code is for S06.0, which refers to a concussion—a mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) that does not involve any structural damage to the brain. Concussion symptoms may encompass headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, fatigue, and difficulty concentrating.
S06.1
Moving on to S06.1, it represents cerebral contusion—a brain bruise resulting from the brain hitting the inside of the skull. Symptoms of cerebral contusion may include headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, seizures, and loss of consciousness.
S06.2
Next, ICD 10 TBI S06.2 corresponds to cerebral laceration, characterized by a tear in the brain tissue due to the brain hitting the inside of the skull. Symptoms of cerebral laceration can involve headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness, and potential brain damage.
S06.3
Continuing with S06.3, this ICD 10 code for TBI pertains to intracranial hemorrhage—a condition involving bleeding inside the skull. Symptoms of intracranial hemorrhage may manifest as headache, dizziness, nausea, vomiting, seizures, loss of consciousness, and brain damage.
S06.4
One of the common TBI ICD Codes is the S06.4 which denotes an unspecified intracranial injury—an injury that does not fit into any of the other categories. The symptoms of an unspecified intracranial injury can vary depending on the specific nature of the injury.
Z87.820
Lastly, Z87.820 is an ICD 10 code for history of TBI. This means a patient has a history of TBI, even if the injury is no longer present. This code is important for tracking the prevalence of TBI and for monitoring the long-term effects of TBI. It can also be used to help patients access services and support that they may need.
