Are you aware of the new 2023 ICD-10 codes for concussion?

The previous coding for concussion only identified no loss of consciousness, loss of consciousness of 30 minutes or more, and a generic unspecified code.

The 3 new codes for concussion identify a concussion with unknown loss of consciousness and include:

S06.0XAA: Concussion with loss of consciousness status unknown, initial encounter

S06.0XAD: Concussion with loss of consciousness status unknown, subsequent encounter

S06.0XAS: Concussion with loss of consciousness status unknown, sequela.

Remember, for any dates of service on or after October 1, 2022, the new codes must be used and HJ Ross Company has a list of the complete code updates.
