Does anyone have a good icd9 code for history head injury
 
Hey,

V15.59 is correct one. But look, if in your report Headache is mentioned then u may code like post traumatic headache 339.2* (And with this there is no need to code Hx of head injury). Also please refer tabular list to code 339.2*

Hope this helps! :)

If this is documented as a post trauma headache then you also need a late effect code from category 905-909.
 
Hi Debra,

So I underlined the sentence as "also please refer tabular list to code 339.2*" in my previous post. In tabular list they mentioned about late effects.
