G97.2

Billable

Intracranial hypotension following ventricular shunting

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Low pressure in the fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord that develops after placement of a shunt to drain excess fluid from the brain.

Coding Tips

  • •This code specifically indicates the hypotension is a post-procedural complication of ventricular shunting
  • •Link to the shunt placement procedure code to establish the causal relationship

Code Also

  • any associated diagnoses or complications
