Epidural hemorrhage w LOC of 30 minutes or less, subs

This code signifies a diagnosis of an epidural hemorrhage, a type of intracranial bleed occurring between the dura mater and the skull, where the patient experienced a brief loss of consciousness lasting 30 minutes or less. This specific code indicates that the patient is receiving follow-up care for this injury after the initial treatment phase.

Apply this code when a patient is seen for ongoing management, rehabilitation, or evaluation of complications related to a previously diagnosed epidural hemorrhage with a documented loss of consciousness of 30 minutes or less. Documentation should clearly state "subsequent encounter" or indicate follow-up care for the initial injury.

• Ensure documentation specifies "subsequent encounter" and the duration of loss of consciousness (30 minutes or less).
• Do not use for initial treatment of the injury; refer to acute encounter codes (e.g., S06.4X1A).
• Code any associated neurological deficits or complications separately, linking them to the primary injury code.
