I61 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The code is not specific and is NOT valid for the year 2024 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. Category or Header define the heading of a category of codes that may be further subdivided by the use of 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th characters.
Specific Coding Applicable to Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
Non-specific codes like I61 require more digits to indicate the appropriate level of specificity. Consider using any of the following ICD-10-CM codes with a higher level of specificity when coding for nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage:
Use I61.0 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in hemisphere, subcortical - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.1 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in hemisphere, cortical - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.2 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in hemisphere, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.3 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in brain stem - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.4 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage in cerebellum - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.5 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, intraventricular - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.6 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, multiple localized - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.8 for Other nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage - BILLABLE CODE
Use I61.9 for Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE
Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The following annotation back-references are applicable to this diagnosis code. The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10-CM codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with coding notes and guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more.
Use Additional Code
Use Additional CodeThe “use additional code” indicates that a secondary code could be used to further specify the patient’s condition. This note is not mandatory and is only used if enough information is available to assign an additional code.
- code, if known, to indicate National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale NIHSS score R29.7
Type 2 Excludes
Type 2 ExcludesA type 2 excludes note represents "Not included here". An excludes2 note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition represented by the code, but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When an Excludes2 note appears under a code, it is acceptable to use both the code and the excluded code together, when appropriate.

Patient Education
Hemorrhagic Stroke
A stroke is a medical emergency. There are two types - ischemic and hemorrhagic. Hemorrhagic stroke is the less common type. It happens when a blood vessel breaks and bleeds into the brain. Within minutes, brain cells begin to die. Causes include a bleeding aneurysm, an arteriovenous malformation (AVM), or an artery wall that breaks open.
Symptoms of stroke are:
- Sudden numbness or weakness of the face, arm or leg (especially on one side of the body)
- Sudden confusion, trouble speaking or understanding speech
- Sudden trouble seeing in one or both eyes
- Sudden trouble walking, dizziness, loss of balance or coordination
- Sudden severe headache with no known cause
It is important to treat strokes as quickly as possible. With a hemorrhagic stroke, the first steps are to find the cause of bleeding in the brain and then control it. Surgery may be needed. Post-stroke rehabilitation can help people overcome disabilities caused by stroke damage.
