I67.0 — Dissection of cerebral arteries, nonruptured
I67.0 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for dissection of cerebral arteries, nonruptured. It is valid for submission on a claim.
Excludes1 — never code together
These conditions cannot occur together. Billing both on the same encounter is a denial.
- ruptured cerebral arteries (I60.7)
Excludes1 inherited from the categories above I67.0
These are not written on I67.0, but they bind it: a note on a category applies to every code beneath it. Billing I67.0 with anything listed here is a denial.
Excludes2 inherited from the categories above I67.0
Also inherited, and the opposite of Excludes1: these conditions are not part of I67.0, but a patient can have both, so you may code both.
Risk adjustment
I67.0 does not map to an HCC and does not risk-adjust under CMS-HCC V28. That is normal — most ICD-10 codes do not. It still needs to be coded correctly; it just will not move a RAF score.
Medicare coverage
I67.0 is named in 12 Medicare coverage policies — 12 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.

How I67.0 is indexed
Coders do not find codes by browsing the tabular list — they look them up in the alphabetic index, under the word the physician wrote. These are the index entries that lead here, so you can see which chart wordings map to I67.0.
