ICD-9 code for Occipital subgaleal hematoma
Hi,
We have a patient that came in for a CT Head and Brain w/o contrast. The diagnoses given were Occipital subgaleal hematoma and petechial hemorrhage. For the petechial hemorrhage we have coded 782.7, however we are having trouble coding the occipital subgaleal hematoma. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
