Traum hemor right cerebrum w LOC of 1-5 hrs 59 minutes, init

This code signifies bleeding within the right cerebral hemisphere caused by trauma, where the patient experienced a loss of consciousness lasting between one hour and five hours and fifty-nine minutes. This represents an acute injury to the brain parenchyma due to external force, resulting in neurological impairment.

Apply this code for patients presenting with an intracranial hemorrhage in the right cerebrum directly attributable to a traumatic event, and whose medical record clearly documents a Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) indicating a loss of consciousness within the specified duration. Documentation should explicitly state the traumatic etiology and the duration of unconsciousness.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right cerebrum" and not a generalized intracranial hemorrhage.
• Verify the exact duration of loss of consciousness; codes exist for different timeframes.
• This is an "initial encounter" code; subsequent care for the same injury will require a different seventh character.
