I67.1 — Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured
I67.1 is a billable, specific ICD-10-CM code for cerebral aneurysm, 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.
Inclusion terms
Alternative wordings a physician may use in the chart for this same code.
- Cerebral aneurysm NOS
- Cerebral arteriovenous fistula, acquired
- Internal carotid artery aneurysm, intracranial portion
- Internal carotid artery aneurysm, NOS
Other codes that can never be billed with I67.1
These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I67.1. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I67.1 alone.
Risk adjustment
I67.1 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
I67.1 is named in 24 Medicare coverage policies — 24 listing it as supporting medical necessity. Which of them applies to you depends on your Medicare contractor, and coverage genuinely differs by state.
