|Example: Concussion with no|S06.0X0 |There are a variety of | |

|loss of consciousness | |codes to choose from; | |

| | |however, S06.0X0 was the | |

| | |code that detailed ‘with no| |

| | |loss of consciousness.’ | |

| | |This code was chosen | |

| | |because there was not | |

| | |enough detail provided to | |

| | |narrow it down to another | |

| | |code such as S06.0X1A | |

| | |(Concussion with loss of | |

| | |consciousness of 30 minutes| |

| | |or less.) | |

|Subdural hematoma | | | |

|(Nontraumatic subdural | | | |

|hemorrhage, unspecified) | | | |

|C1 cervical closed fracture| | | |

|(Unspecified displaced | | | |

|fracture of first cervical | | | |

|vertebra, initial encounter| | | |

|for closed fracture) | | | |

|Peripheral neuropathy | | | |
