ICD-10-CM Code for Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side I69. 354.
Hemiparesis is a common after-effect of stroke that causes weakness on one side of the body. This one-sided weakness can limit your movement and affect all basic activities, such as dressing, eating, and walking. People often confuse hemiparesis and hemiplegia. Both conditions occur as the result of a stroke.
351 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting right dominant side.
ICD-10 | Cerebral infarction, unspecified (I63. 9)
The term “hemi” in hemiplegia denotes something occurring on one half of the body — the left or the right side. Hemiparesis is weakness on half of the body. This may manifest in multiple ways, such as a loss of motor control, inability to feel one side of the body, or general sensations of weakness.
The effects of a left hemisphere stroke may include: Right-sided weakness or paralysis and sensory impairment. Problems with speech and understanding language (aphasia)
Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting right dominant side The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G81. 91 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
Hemiparesis is a mild or partial weakness or loss of strength on one side of the body. Hemiplegia is a severe or complete loss of strength or paralysis on one side of the body. The difference between the two conditions primarily lies in severity.
Acute Ischemic Stroke (ICD-10 code I63.
Stroke Center. A stroke, also referred to as a cerebral vascular accident (CVA) or a brain attack, is an interruption in the flow of blood to cells in the brain.
ICD-10 code: I63. 9 Cerebral infarction, unspecified.
Stroke is classified by the type of tissue necrosis, such as the anatomic location, vasculature involved, etiology, age of the affected individual, and hemorrhagic vs. Non-hemorrhagic nature. (from Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp777-810) A stroke is a medical emergency.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I63.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time. When a type 2 excludes note appears under a code it is acceptable to use both the code ( I63.9) and the excluded code together.
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.
Hemiplegia and hemiparesis of left nondominant side as late effect of cerebrovascular accident
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69.354 became effective on October 1, 2021.
First, you must indicate what the etiology of the cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is (e.g., non-traumatic subarachnoid, intracerebral, subdural, or epidural hemorrhage or cerebral infarction). Then, the specificity, especially for cerebral infarction, is unwieldy. Maximal granularity includes whether a cerebral infarction occurs due ...
After the acute incident has resolved, the patient either has neurological deficits (residua or sequelae) or they do not. The latter is coded with Z86.73, Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA) and cerebral infarction without residual deficits, or Z86.79, Personal history of other diseases of the circulatory system, for history of brain bleeds. If there are deficits, and the provider makes the necessary linkage, a “sequelae of” code should be assigned signifying the specific residua.
Conversely, 99.7 percent did not have evidence of acute strokes. The findings stated that 285 of 580 (49.1 percent) of enrollees actually had a “history of stroke” diagnosis and should have had a Z86.- code. The financial differential between erroneously falling into HCC 100 (acute ischemic stroke) versus no HCC for a personal history was reportedly $1,826 (from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services/CMS to the MA organization for the transferred enrollee). In 16 of 580 cases (2.8 percent), the sequela of hemiplegia (15 of 16, 93.4 percent) or monoplegia (1of 16, 6.6 percent) was determined to be present, and CMS credited the MA organizations with underpayments.
I69 codes stemming from a previous stroke can be utilized simultaneously with a new and different acute stroke. However, deficits presumed to be due to an acute stroke during the acute stroke encounter are coded as sign/symptoms, and not with an I69 code; a G81.- code is utilized instead.
Certain sequelae, such hemi- or monoplegia, have risk-adjusting implications. In fact, motor residua are even more risk-adjusting than acute stroke. There is only a nullification hierarchy between hemiplegia/hemiparesis (HCC 103) and monoplegia and other paralytic syndromes (HCC 104).
Similarly, all CVAs in the same code range found as a secondary diagnosis during inpatient stays should be assessed. Did the patient actually have an acute stroke, concurrent with the principal diagnosis, or incur a CVA during the admission? If neither of those is the case, then there should probably be an I69.- or Z86.- code instead. Hopefully, your professional coders are aware of the difference and are choosing wisely.
An acute stroke today has HCC implications for next year, because it is a prospective model. If the year goes from Jan. 1 to Dec. 31, a stroke on Jan. 2 counts for the entire subsequent year (not the year in which the stroke occurred). After the acute incident, the provider should precisely and correctly transition to a sequelae of cerebrovascular disease or a Z86 code. Certain sequelae, such hemi- or monoplegia, have risk-adjusting implications. In fact, motor residua are even more risk-adjusting than acute stroke. There is only a nullification hierarchy between hemiplegia/hemiparesis (HCC 103) and monoplegia and other paralytic syndromes (HCC 104). Acute stroke and risk-adjusting sequelae will have additive risk adjustment factors (RAFs).
