Tabular List NotesGuidance
Coding notes and annotation back-references applicable to this code.
Use Additional Code
- code, if known, to indicate National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale NIHSS score R29.7
Type 2 Excludes
- sequelae of intracranial hemorrhage I69.2
The “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.
A 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.

Hemorrhagic Stroke
A stroke happens when there is a loss of blood flow to part of the brain. Your brain cells cannot get the oxygen and nutrients they need from blood, and they start to die within a few minutes. This can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.
