Treatment
There are four primary aspects of communication that can be affected by aphasia, which are:

Expressive aphasia. This is also called Broca's or nonfluent aphasia. People with this pattern of aphasia may understand what other people say better than they can speak. People with this pattern of aphasia struggle to get words out, speak in very short sentences and omit words.
438.82 - Other late effects of cerebrovascular disease, dysphagia | ICD-10-CM.
ICD-10 code: F80. 1 Expressive language disorder | gesund.bund.de.
ICD-10 | Cerebral infarction, unspecified (I63. 9)
Here are some symptoms that someone with expressive aphasia may have: Exhibits effortful speech, or can't speak at all. Struggles to find the right words, and may put incorrect strings of words together (“word salad”) Utters short sentences or single words repeatedly.
In most cases, expressive aphasia is caused by a stroke in Broca's area or the surrounding vicinity. Broca's area is in the lower part of the premotor cortex in the language dominant hemisphere and is responsible for planning motor speech movements.
Wernicke's aphasia is another name for receptive aphasia. It happens when the area of your brain that controls language called the Wernicke area is damaged. This condition is also called sensory aphasia or fluent aphasia. People who have Wernicke's aphasia can't understand words.
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.
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.
Code Sequela of Cerebrovascular Disease/Stroke (ICD-10 code I69*) anytime post a diagnosis of any condition classifiable to ICD-10 codes I60 – I67*. 5. History of Stroke (ICD-10 code Z86. 73) should be used when the patient is being seen in an out patient setting subsequent to an inpatient stay.
A stroke happens when there is a loss of blood flow to part of the brain. Your brain cells cannot get the oxygen and nutrients they need from blood, and they start to die within a few minutes. This can cause lasting brain damage, long-term disability, or even death.
Treatments for stroke include medicines, surgery, and rehabilitation. Which treatments you get depend on the type of stroke and the stage of treatment. The different stages are
If you have already had a stroke or are at risk of having a stroke, you can make some heart-healthy lifestyle changes to try to prevent a future stroke:
I69.320 is a billable diagnosis code used to specify a medical diagnosis of aphasia following cerebral infarction. The code I69.320 is valid during the fiscal year 2021 from October 01, 2020 through September 30, 2021 for the submission of HIPAA-covered transactions.#N#The ICD-10-CM code I69.320 might also be used to specify conditions or terms like aphasia as late effect of cerebrovascular accident, aphasia as late effect of cerebrovascular disease, aphasia due to and following embolic cerebrovascular accident, aphasia due to and following hemorrhagic cerebrovascular accident or aphasia due to and following ischemic cerebrovascular accident. The code is exempt from present on admission (POA) reporting for inpatient admissions to general acute care hospitals.
There are four main types: Expressive aphasia - you know what you want to say, but you have trouble saying or writing what you mean. Receptive aphasia - you hear the voice or see the print, but you can't make sense of the words. Anomic aphasia - you have trouble using the correct word for objects, places, or events.
Aphasia is a disorder caused by damage to the parts of the brain that control language. It can make it hard for you to read, write, and say what you mean to say. It is most common in adults who have had a stroke. Brain tumors, infections, injuries, and dementia can also cause it. The type of problem you have and how bad it is depends on which part of your brain is damaged and how much damage there is.
Clinically undetermined - unable to clinically determine whether the condition was present at the time of inpatient admission.
I69.920 is a valid billable ICD-10 diagnosis code for Aphasia following unspecified cerebrovascular disease . 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. See also:
Cerebrovascular disease, stroke or cerebrovascular accident, is a vascular disease of the cerebral circulation. Arteries supplying oxygen to the brain are affected resulting in one of a number of cerebrovascular diseases. Most commonly this is a stroke or mini-stroke and sometimes can be a hemorrhagic stroke.

This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code I69.820 and a single ICD9 code, 438.11 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
