Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I61) ICD-10-CM
The I61 code range covers nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage with 10 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 9 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2027, and the category headers group them but cannot themselves be billed.
Use Additional Code
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.

Type 2 Excludes
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.

About the I61 Code Range
Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage is bleeding inside the brain that is not caused by an injury. The subdivisions distinguish where the bleeding occurs.
Within a brain hemisphere, I61.0 identifies bleeding below the outer layer, I61.1 identifies bleeding in that layer, and I61.2 leaves the location within the hemisphere unspecified. Other codes identify bleeding in the brain stem, cerebellum, or ventricles. The remaining subdivisions identify multiple localized areas, other hemorrhage, or unspecified hemorrhage.
