For patients without a related medical condition or language deficit, consider ICD-10-CM code F88 (other disorders of psychological development). Informal descriptions for F88 include "cognitive developmental delay."
For patients with a neurological or medical diagnosis other than TBI or stroke, such as epilepsy, brain cancer, autism spectrum disorder, or a neurodegenerative disease, SLPs may report R48.8 (other symbolic dysfunctions). This code is used to describe cognitive and language impairments when there is neurological information to support the diagnosis. SLPs should always consult the medical record or referring physician to obtain the appropriate code to describe the underlying medical condition.
Policies are often limited to services for patients diagnosed with specific medical conditions—such as stroke or traumatic brain injury (TBI)—and may also exclude cognitive services for specific conditions such as mild TBI, developmental disorders, or neurodegenerative diseases.

Use the I69- series of ICD-10-CM codes to report cognitive deficits following cerebrovascular disease. Each category of cerebrovascular disease—nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, cerebral infarction, other cerebrovascular diseases, unspecified cerebrovascular diseases—includes codes for specific cognitive deficits, including memory, attention and concentration, frontal lobe and executive function, and cognitive-social deficits. The I69- series of codes is one of the few used by SLPs that incorporate both the medical diagnosis and treating diagnosis in one category. SLPs should always consult the medical record or referring physician to confirm the type of cerebrovascular disease before selecting an I69- code.
It is not a deficit of the CVA until after the acute CVA is over. In other words some can have an acute CVA with acute issue that all resolve quickly. However if the condition does not resolve and is not going to resolve prior to discharge and the patient is stable enough for discharge then the remaining deficits are late effects.

Sequelae of Cerebrovascular disease. Category I69 is used to indicate conditions classifiable to categories I60-I67 as the causes of sequela (neurologic deficits), themselves classified elsewhere. These “late effects” include.
