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

What This Code Means

A patient experienced unintended awareness during general anesthesia in a previous surgery, meaning they were partially conscious when they should have been fully asleep.

Coding Tips

  • This is a serious complication that must be documented to guide anesthesia management in future surgeries
  • Providers should use different anesthetic techniques and monitoring for subsequent procedures

Excludes 2 — Not included here, may code separately

  • unintended awareness under general anesthesia during procedure (T88.53)
