› History of stroke (ICD-10 code Z86.73) should be used when there are no identifiable manifestations of the acute stroke, a diagnosis of transient ischemic attack [TIA] was made, or the stroke no longer has a specific treatment plan,
I69.359 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. Short description: Hemiplga following cerebral infarction affecting unsp side. The 2019 edition of ICD-10-CM I69.359 became effective on October 1, 2018.
ICD-10-CM Code for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side I69. 354.
ICD-10 code Z86. 73 for Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
Coding Guidelines Residual neurological effects of a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be documented using CPT category I69 codes indicating sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. Codes I60-67 specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and monoplegia and identify whether the dominant or nondominant side is affected.
Unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
For ischaemic stroke, the main codes are ICD-8 433/434 and ICD-9 434 (occlusion of the cerebral arteries), and ICD-10 I63 (cerebral infarction).
“Weakness” is code 728.87 ICD-9, M62. 81 ICD-10, which is NOT A HCC.
I69. 398 - Other sequelae of cerebral infarction | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code I69. 351 for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
ICD-10 code R53. 1 for Weakness is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
In ICD-10 CM, code category I63 should be utilized when the medical documentation indicates that an infarction or stroke has occurred. Coding of sequelae of stroke and infarction also demands a level of detail often missing in medical records.
ICD-10 code M62. 81 for Muscle weakness (generalized) is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Soft tissue disorders .
Code category I69* (Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease) specifies the type of stroke that caused the sequelae (late effect) as well as the residual condition itself.
Sequelae are residual effects or conditions produced after the acute phase of an illness or injury has ended. Therefore there is no time limit on when a sequela code can be assigned.
I63. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Cerebral Infarction (Sequela) Hemiplegia is defined as paralysis of partial or total body function on one side of the body, whereas hemiparesis is characterized by one‐sided weakness, but without complete paralysis.
In ICD-10 CM, code category I63 should be utilized when the medical documentation indicates that an infarction or stroke has occurred. Coding of sequelae of stroke and infarction also demands a level of detail often missing in medical records. There are specific codes which indicate the cause of the infarction, such as embolism or thrombosis, as well as the specific affected arteries. The sixth digit provides additional information which designates the affected side when applicable.
The patient is admitted into hospital and diagnosed with cerebral infarction, unspecified ( ICD-10 code I63.9). At the 3-week post-discharge follow-up appointment for the cerebral infarction, the office visit note states the patient had a stroke and has a residual deficit of hemiplegia, affecting the right dominant side.
Codes I60-I69 should never be used to report traumatic intracranial events. Normally, do not report codes from I80-I67 with codes from I69. ...
Documentation of unilateral weakness in conjunction with a stroke is considered by the ICD to be hemiparesis/hemiplegia due to the stroke and should be reported separately. Hemiparesis is not considered a normal sign or symptom of stroke and is always reported separately. If the patient’s dominant side is not documented, ...

stroke occurs when there is disruption of blood flow to brain tissue, this leads to ischemia (deprivation of oxygen) and potentially infarction (dysfunctional scar tissue). Strokes can be either hemorrhagic, or embolic/thrombotic. Hemorrhagic strokes occur as a result of a ruptured cerebral blood vessel. Embolic/thrombic strokes occur as a result of an obstructed cerebral vessel.
