I61 — Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
Non-billable headerICD-10-CM
I61 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.
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 intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.1-)
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-)
Risk adjustment
I61 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 I61
