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.
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.
I documented “left side weakness d/t CVA.” Why did this not risk adjust? “Weakness” is code 728.87 ICD-9, M62. 81 ICD-10, which is NOT A HCC. “Weakness” is a symptom, whereas “paresis” including monoparesis, hemiparesis and even quadriparesis are diagnoses.
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.
Obstruction in blood flow (ischemia) to the brain can lead to permanent damage. This is called a cerebrovascular accident (CVA). It is also known as cerebral infarction or stroke. Rupture of an artery with bleeding into the brain (hemorrhage) is called a CVA, too.
Right-sided hemiparesis indicates injury to the left side of the person's brain while left-sided hemiparesis involves injury to the right side of the brain.
M62.81 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Muscle weakness (generalized) . It is found in the 2021 version of the ICD-10 Clinical Modification (CM) and can be used in all HIPAA-covered transactions from Oct 01, 2020 - Sep 30, 2021 .
DO NOT include the decimal point when electronically filing claims as it may be rejected. Some clearinghouses may remove it for you but to avoid having a rejected claim due to an invalid ICD-10 code, do not include the decimal point when submitting claims electronically.
