Other and unspecified nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I62) ICD-10-CM
The I62 code range covers other and unspecified nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage with 8 ICD-10-CM diagnosis codes. 6 of them are billable and valid for claim submission in fiscal year 2026, 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 I62 Code Range
The ICD-10 code section I62 covers various types of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhages, which are brain bleeds not caused by injury. These codes help specify hemorrhages occurring in different brain areas like subdural and extradural spaces without trauma involvement.
This section includes codes such as I62.0 for nontraumatic subdural hemorrhages, including acute (I62.01), subacute (I62.02), and chronic forms (I62.03). These hemorrhages, also known by synonyms like "non-traumatic subdural hematoma" or "hemorrhage into subdural space of neuraxis," represent blood collections under the brain's outer membrane without injury. The code I62.1 is for nontraumatic extradural hemorrhages—bleeds between the skull and outer membrane, also called "spontaneous epidural intracranial hematoma." When the specific hemorrhage type is unknown, I62.9 is used, covering conditions such as "spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage" and "intracranial hematoma." These detailed ICD-10 codes assist health professionals and medical coders in precisely identifying nontraumatic brain bleeds for clinical documentation and billing, improving clarity and specificity in records.
