About coding intraventricular hemorrhage
The ICD-10-CM code for intraventricular hemorrhage is I61.5 (Nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, intraventricular). The official index lists 6 more specific codes, so check the documentation for details such as type, cause, site or severity before settling on I61.5.
Within I61 (nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage), I61.5 is specifically for nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, intraventricular. Related codes cover in hemisphere, subcortical (I61.0), in hemisphere, cortical (I61.1), in hemisphere, unspecified (I61.2), in brain stem (I61.3), in cerebellum (I61.4), multiple localized (I61.6), other nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I61.8) and unspecified (I61.9).
Use an additional code, if known, to indicate National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score (R29.7-).
As a secondary diagnosis it is an MCC (major complication or comorbidity), which can move an inpatient stay into the highest-paying "with MCC" MS-DRG of its family, unless the principal diagnosis excludes it.
