Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

G97.3 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a nervous system organ or structure complicating a procedure. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes1: never code together

These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.

intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a nervous system organ or structure due to accidental puncture and laceration during a procedure (G97.4-)

Excludes2 inherited from the categories above G97.3

Not part of this code, but both may be coded when both are present.

Written on G97: Intraoperative and postprocedural complications and disorders of nervous system, not elsewhere classified

intraoperative and postprocedural cerebrovascular infarction (I97.81-, I97.82-)
