Traum hemor cereb, w LOC of 31-59 min, init

Traumatic hemorrhage of cerebrum, unspecified, with loss of consciousness of 31 minutes to 59 minutes, initial encounter

📋Clinical Description

This code signifies a brain bleed within the cerebrum caused by trauma, where the specific location or type of hemorrhage is not documented. The patient experienced a moderate period of unconsciousness, lasting between 31 and 59 minutes, as a direct result of this injury. This code is specifically for the initial treatment of the injury.

🎯When to Use

This code is appropriate for a patient presenting with a traumatic cerebral hemorrhage where imaging confirms bleeding but the specific type (e.g., intraparenchymal, subdural) is not specified, and the medical record clearly documents a loss of consciousness between 31 and 59 minutes. Documentation must explicitly state "initial encounter" for the treatment of this injury.

💡Coding Tips

Ensure the documentation specifies "unspecified" for the hemorrhage type if a more precise code is not applicable.
Verify the exact duration of loss of consciousness; codes vary significantly based on this time frame.
Confirm this is the initial encounter for the injury; subsequent encounters require different seventh characters.
