ICD-10-CM Code for Dysarthria following cerebral infarction I69. 322.
Dysarthria is a speech impairment that sometimes occurs after a stroke. It can affect pronunciation, the loudness of the voice and the ability to speak at a normal rate with normal intonation. The exact speech problems will differ from person to person, depending on the location and severity of the stroke.
Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting left dominant side The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G81. 92 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G81.
Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting right dominant side The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G81. 91 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G81.
Both conditions can make communication difficult. The difference between the two is that dysarthria is a speech impairment while aphasia is a language impairment. Aphasia is a language disorder, most commonly due to a stroke or other brain injury.
The Mayo Clinic classification of dysarthria (Duffy, 1995), widely used in the United States, includes six categories: (1) flaccid, (2) spastic and “unilateral upper motor neuron,” (3) ataxic, (4) hypokinetic, (5) hyperkinetic, and (6) mixed dysarthria.
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.
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.

R47.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of dysarthria and anarthria. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Dysarthria (from Ancient Greek δυσ- dys, "hard, difficult, bad" and ἄρθρωσις arthrosis, "articulation") is a motor speech disorder resulting from neurological injury of the motor component of the motor-speech system and is characterized by poor articulation of phonemes (cf. aphasia: a disorder of the content of language). In other words, it is a condition in which problems effectively occur with the muscles that help produce speech, often making it very difficult to pronounce words. It is unrelated to any problem with understanding cognitive language. Any of the speech subsystems (respiration, phonation, resonance, prosody, and articulation) can be affected, leading to impairments in intelligibility, audibility, naturalness, and efficiency of vocal communication.
