How coders use this code
ICD-10-CM G97.48 is a billable, fully specified code, so it can be reported directly on a claim to document a diagnosis of accidental puncture and laceration of other nervous system organ or structure during a nervous system procedure. Coders assign it when the chart documentation supports this level of detail, always matching to the most specific code available and verifying against the chapter-specific guidelines published annually by NCHS/CMS.
