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.
Z86. 73 - Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits | ICD-10-CM.
I69. 354 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side. ICD-10-CM.
Cerebrovascular accident (CVA) is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke is when blood flow to a part of your brain is stopped either by a blockage or the rupture of a blood vessel.
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.Aug 25, 2021
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. When the cells in the brain are deprived of oxygen, they die.
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.....
Injury to the left side of the brain, which controls language and speaking, can result in right-sided weakness. Left-sided weakness results from injury to the right side of the brain, which controls nonverbal communication and certain behaviors.Apr 8, 2019

Types of StrokeIschemic stroke.Hemorrhagic stroke.Transient ischemic attack (a warning or “mini-stroke”).
It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too. If the symptoms are temporary, usually lasting less than an hour without permanent brain damage, the event is called a transient ischemic attack (TIA).
For The Record: Coding for Cerebral Infarction. A cerebral infarction (ICD-9-CM code 434.91), also called a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is slowed or interrupted and brain tissue is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, causing cells to die.
Other sequelae of cerebral infarction I69. 398 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes.
Acute stroke: 24 hours to one week. Subacute stroke: One to three weeks. Chronic stroke: Greater than three weeks.

Read it. (Stroke on the right side of the brain) After a stroke in the right hemisphere the patient is paralyzed on the left side of the body and vice versa. Paralysis is not always the case.
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.
