Why ICD-10 codes are important
The ICD-10-CM is a catalog of diagnosis codes used by medical professionals for medical coding and reporting in health care settings. The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) maintain the catalog in the U.S. releasing yearly updates.
ICD-10-CM Code for Dysarthria following cerebral infarction I69. 322.
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.
ICD-10 code R47. 1 for Dysarthria and anarthria is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
ICD-10 code I69. 320 for Aphasia following cerebral infarction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
permanent disability. loss of cognitive functions. partial paralysis in some limbs. speech difficulties.
In ICD-9 we used the term "late effect" to indicate a chronic or residual condition or a complication of an acute condition that occurs after the acute phase of a disease, illness or injury has passed." Late effects could also be caused indirectly by the treatment for a disease or other condition.
Dysarthria and aphasia have a lot in common. They are both communication impairments that can be the result of a stroke, and can even occur at the same time. Both conditions can make communication difficult. The difference between the two is that dysarthria is a speech impairment while aphasia is a language impairment.
ICD-10 | Cerebral infarction, unspecified (I63. 9)
Overview. Anarthria is a severe form of dysarthria. Dysarthria is a motor speech disorder that occurs when someone can't coordinate or control the muscles used for speaking. People with dysarthria usually have slurred or slowed speech. People with anarthria, however, can't articulate speech at all.

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.
Aphasia is a loss of ability to produce or understand language. The most common cause of aphasia is cerebrovascular disease, particularly cerebral infarction. Aphasia complicates 15 to 38 percent of ischemic strokes [1-4].
Category I69 is to be used to indicate conditions in I60 - I67 as the cause of sequelae. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such or as residuals which may occur at any time after the onset of the causal condition. Type 1 Excludes.
In most cases the manifestation codes will have in the code title, "in diseases classified elsewhere.". Codes with this title are a component of the etiology/manifestation convention. The code title indicates that it is a manifestation code.
438.13 is a legacy non-billable code used to specify a medical diagnosis of late effects of cerebrovascular disease, dysarthria. This code was replaced on September 30, 2015 by its ICD-10 equivalent.

General Equivalence Map Definitions The ICD-9 and ICD-10 GEMs are used to facilitate linking between the diagnosis codes in ICD-9-CM and the new ICD-10-CM code set. The GEMs are the raw material from which providers, health information vendors and payers can derive specific applied mappings to meet their needs.
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 I69.322 and a single ICD9 code, 438.13 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
