What This Code Means

A general code for any birth-related injury to the baby's central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) when the specific type or location is not documented.

Coding Tips

  • •Use this code only when the specific site of CNS injury cannot be determined from the medical record
  • •Review documentation carefully to see if a more specific P11 code (P11.0-P11.8) can be assigned instead
