S06.0X vs S06.89
S06.0X (Concussion) compared with S06.89 (Other specified intracranial injury), from the official CMS tabular data. Do not report these codes together: the official tabular list marks them Excludes1.
Can these codes be reported together?
No — do not report together. S06.89 carries an Excludes1 note covering S06.0X: “concussion (S06.0X-)”
Sole exception: when the two conditions are documented as unrelated to each other (ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines, Section I.A.12.a).
