If trauma related, ICD-10-CM code R56. 1 (post-traumatic seizures) may be appropriate, depending on the circumstances outlined in the documentation.
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.
ICD-10 code: I63. 9 Cerebral infarction, unspecified.
ICD-10 code I69. 3 for Sequelae of cerebral infarction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Other sequelae of cerebral infarction The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 398 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I69. 398 - other international versions of ICD-10 I69.
G40. 89 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
I63. 9 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I63. 9 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). Stroke is a heterogeneous disease that is not defined consistently by clinicians or researchers [35].
ICD-10-CM I67. 81 is grouped within Diagnostic Related Group(s) (MS-DRG v39.0): 061 Ischemic stroke, precerebral occlusion or transient ischemia with thrombolytic agent with mcc.
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. Residuals may be apparent early on such as in cerebral infarction, or they can occur months or years later.....
How should this be coded? Answer: Assign 434.91 Occlusion of Cerebral arteries, cerebral artery occlusion, unspecified with cerebral infarction AND 431- intracerebral hemorrhage, for the description subacute ischemic right posterior parietal watershed infarct with small focus of subacute hemorrhage.
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-9 we used the term "late effect" to indicate a chronic or residual condition or a complication of an acute condition that occurs after the acute phase of a disease, illness or injury has passed." Late effects could also be caused indirectly by the treatment for a disease or other condition.
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.
Complications of cerebrovascular disease permanent disability. loss of cognitive functions. partial paralysis in some limbs. speech difficulties. memory loss.
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 .
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69.398 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Category I69 is to be used to indicate conditions in I60 - I67 as the cause of sequelae. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such or as residuals which may occur at any time after the onset of the causal condition. Type 1 Excludes.
Explicitly document findings to support diagnoses of › Stroke sequela codes (ICD-10 category I69.-) should acute stroke, stroke and subsequent sequela of be used at the time of an ambulatory care visit stroke, and personal history of stroke without sequela, oce, which is considered subsequent to any acute
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.
A: The 2021 ICD-10-CM Alphabetic Index contains inclusion terms for code G40.4 (other generalized epilepsy and epileptic syndromes). “Grand mal seizure not otherwise specified” is included in the term epilepsy. “Non-specific tonic clonic seizures” is also an inclusion term. So, either term directs coders to ICD-10-CM code G40.4.
Seizures do not get classified as epi lepsy unless the seizures are recurrent. Convulsions (reported with a code from ICD-10-CM category R56) contain an Excludes1 note for epileptic convulsions and seizures, and vice versa.

Clinically, epilepsy is diagnosed based on the occurrence of two or more seizures, and this patient reportedly has no history of seizure activity.
A seizure episode is classified to ICD-9-CM code 780.39, Other convulsions.
The following are the six types of generalized seizures: • Absence seizures (petit mal): characterized by blank staring and subtle body movements that begin and end abruptly. It may cause a brief loss of consciousness. • Tonic seizures: causes stiffening of the muscles and may cause the patient to fall to the ground.
In addition, there are separate codes if the epilepsy is idiopathic vs. symptomatic. The fifth and sixth characters will identify the presence or absence of status epilepticus and intractable epilepsy.
Status epilepticus indicates a state of continuous seizure activity lasting for a significant amount of time or having frequent recurrent seizures without regaining full consciousness in between them. This is a life-threatening condition because the brain cannot get enough oxygen to survive.
Types of Epilepsy. There are two main categories of epilepsy: partial (also called local or focal) and generalized. Partial seizures occur in only one part of the brain. The following are two common types of partial epilepsy:
