Code Classification

  • Diseases of the circulatory system
    (I00–I99)
    • Cerebrovascular diseases
      (I60-I69)
      • Other and unspecified nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
        (I62)

I62 is a non-specific and non-billable diagnosis code code, consider using a code with a higher level of specificity for a diagnosis of other and unspecified nontraumatic intracranial 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.

Unspecified diagnosis codes like I62 are acceptable when clinical information is unknown or not available about a particular condition. Although a more specific code is preferable, unspecified codes should be used when such codes most accurately reflect what is known about a patient's condition. Specific diagnosis codes should not be used if not supported by the patient's medical record.

Specific Coding Applicable to Other and unspecified nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage

Non-specific codes like I62 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 other and unspecified nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage:

  • I62.0 for Nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage - NON-BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I62.00 for Nontraumatic subdural hemorrhage, unspecified - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I62.01 for Nontraumatic acute subdural hemorrhage - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I62.02 for Nontraumatic subacute subdural hemorrhage - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I62.03 for Nontraumatic chronic subdural hemorrhage - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I62.1 for Nontraumatic extradural hemorrhage - BILLABLE CODE

  • Use I62.9 for Nontraumatic intracranial 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 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.
  • code, if known, to indicate National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale NIHSS score R29.7

Type 2 Excludes

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.
  • sequelae of intracranial hemorrhage I69.2

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.
