Not Valid for Submission
S06.2X9 is a "header" nonspecific and non-billable code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of diffuse traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration. The code is NOT valid for the year 2020 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions. The ICD-10-CM code S06.2X9 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like brain contusion with open intracranial wound, with 1-24 hours loss of consciousness, brain contusion with open intracranial wound, with more than 1 hour loss of consciousness, brain injury without open intracranial wound and with brief loss of consciousness , cerebral laceration and contusion, closed cerebral contusion, cortex contusion with open intracranial wound, etc
| ICD-10: | S06.2X9 |
| Short Description: | Diffuse TBI w loss of consciousness of unsp duration |
| Long Description: | Diffuse traumatic brain injury with loss of consciousness of unspecified duration |

Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries
The Tabular List of Diseases and Injuries is a list of ICD-10 codes, organized "head to toe" into chapters and sections with guidance for inclusions, exclusions, descriptions and more. The following references are applicable to the code S06.2X9:
Inclusion Terms
Inclusion TermsThese terms are the conditions for which that code is to be used. The terms may be synonyms of the code title, or, in the case of "other specified" codes, the terms are a list of the various conditions assigned to that code. The inclusion terms are not necessarily exhaustive. Additional terms found only in the Alphabetic Index may also be assigned to a code.
- Diffuse traumatic brain injury NOS
