Is I60 a billable ICD-10-CM code?

No. I60 is a non-billable header code. Code to a higher level of specificity using one of its child codes.

Where does I60 sit in the tabular list?

Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99), in the block Cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69).

What cannot be coded together with I60?

I60 carries an Excludes1 note, which means the conditions it lists can never be coded together with it on the same encounter.

I60

I60 — Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

I60 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1 — never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

syphilitic ruptured cerebral aneurysm (A52.05)

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

sequelae of subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.0-)

Use additional code

Add a secondary code to capture the detail described below.

code, if known, to indicate National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (R29.7-)

Other codes that can never be billed with I60

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I60. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I60 alone.

Q28Other congenital malformations of circulatory system
G31.84Mild cognitive impairment of uncertain or unknown etiology
I67.0Dissection of cerebral arteries, nonruptured
I67.1Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured

Risk adjustment

I60 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.

Code to one of these instead I60

10 child codes. Green means billable.
