I97.5Accidental puncture and laceration of a circulatory system organ or structure during a procedure

Non-billable headerICD-10-CM

I97.5 is a non-billable header ICD-10-CM code for accidental puncture and laceration of a circulatory system organ or structure during a procedure. It cannot be billed on its own: choose one of the more specific child codes below.

Excludes2 — not included here, but may coexist

The excluded condition is not part of this code, but a patient can have both. You may code both.

  • accidental puncture and laceration of brain during a procedure (G97.4-)

Other codes that can never be billed with I97.5

These codes carry an Excludes1 note pointing at I97.5. The conflict binds both ways, but ICD-10-CM only writes it down on one side — so you would not find this by reading I97.5 alone.

  • I97.4Intraoperative hemorrhage and hematoma of a circulatory system organ or structure complicating a procedure

Risk adjustment

I97.5 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.

Code to one of these instead I97.5
