What is the ICD-10 code for an ACom aneurysm?

The ICD-10 code for a ruptured ACom aneurysm is I60.0, while an unruptured ACom aneurysm is coded as I67.1.

How do you document an ACom aneurysm?

Document the aneurysm's location, size, rupture status, and any associated symptoms or hemodynamic factors.

Code	Description	When to Use	Key Documentation
I60.0	Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from carotid siphon and bifurcation	Use when an ACom aneurysm is confirmed to have ruptured, causing subarachnoid hemorrhage.	Imaging confirmation of aneurysm and subarachnoid hemorrhage Clinical symptoms such as sudden headache or loss of consciousness
I67.1	Cerebral aneurysm, nonruptured	Use for unruptured ACom aneurysms identified through imaging.	Imaging report confirming aneurysm size and location Absence of subarachnoid hemorrhage

Primary ICD-10-CM Codes

Nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage from carotid siphon and bifurcation

I60.0

Differential Codes

Alternative codes to consider when ruling out similar conditions

Other nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhageI60.8

Use when the source of hemorrhage is not documented or confirmed.

Congenital cerebral aneurysmQ28.3

Use when the aneurysm is congenital, typically in younger patients without risk factors.

Documentation & Coding Risks

Avoid these common issues when documenting ACom Aneurysm.

Failure to specify aneurysm laterality

Impact

Clinical: May affect treatment decisions., Regulatory: Increases risk of audit discrepancies., Financial: Can lead to incorrect DRG assignment.

Mitigation

Always document the dominant A1 segment., Use imaging reports to confirm laterality.

Using unspecified codes for aneurysm location

Impact

Reimbursement: May lead to denied claims or reduced reimbursement., Compliance: Increases risk of audit failures., Data Quality: Decreases accuracy of clinical data.

Mitigation

Always document and code the specific location of the aneurysm.

Unspecified Aneurysm Location

Impact

Coding without specifying the aneurysm's exact location increases audit risk.

Mitigation

Ensure detailed documentation of the aneurysm's anatomical site.
