Frequently Asked Questions
What is the ICD-10 code for stroke?
The primary ICD-10-CM codes for stroke are I63, I63.9, I61. There are 455 total codes related to stroke, of which 371 are billable/specific codes that can be used on medical claims.

Which stroke ICD-10 code should I use for billing?
The most commonly used billable codes for stroke include: G45.0 (Vertebro-basilar artery syndrome); G45.1 (Carotid artery syndrome (hemispheric)); G45.2 (Multiple and bilateral precerebral artery syndromes). The correct code depends on the specific clinical presentation. Always code to the highest level of specificity supported by the clinical documentation.
Is I63 a billable ICD-10 code?
No, I63 (Cerebral infarction) is a non-billable header code. You need to use a more specific child code for billing purposes.
What are other names for stroke in ICD-10?
Stroke may also be referred to as: stroke, CVA, cerebrovascular accident, brain attack, TIA, transient ischemic attack. The same ICD-10-CM codes apply regardless of which term is used in the clinical documentation.
