About S06
S06 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for intracranial injury. It belongs to block S00-S09 (injuries to the head) and chapter 19 (injury, poisoning and certain other consequences of external causes). It is a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 10 subcodes must be used instead.
To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: S06.0 (concussion), S06.1 (edema), S06.2 (injury), S06.3 (injury), S06.4 (hemorrhage), S06.5 (hemorrhage), S06.6 (hemorrhage), S06.8 (injuries) and 2 more.
Don't report S06 together with the conditions in its Excludes1 note: head injury NOS (S09.90).
Use an additional code, if applicable, to identify mild neurocognitive disorders due to known physiological condition (F06.7-).
It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.

Coding notes
Note
- 7th characters D and S do not apply to codes in category S06 with 6th character 7 - death due to brain injury prior to regaining consciousness, or 8 - death due to other cause prior to regaining consciousness.
IncludesFurther defines the content of the category
- traumatic brain injury
Excludes1Not coded here — never report together with this code

Common questions about S06
Is S06 billable?
- No. S06 is a header code. Report one of its more specific subcodes instead.
