The ICD-10 delay was only one paragraph of a larger bill mostly focused on postponing cuts in Medicare reimbursement to doctors that would otherwise be required under the Sustainable Growth Rate (SGR) formula. A one-year delay provides welcome breathing room for some organizations to further prepare for the ICD-10 transition.
A preoperative examination to clear the patient for surgery is part of the global surgical package, and should not be reported separately. You should report the appropriate ICD-10 code for preoperative clearance (i.e., Z01. 810 – Z01. 818) and the appropriate ICD-10 code for the condition that prompted surgery.
In both ICD-9 and ICD-10, signs/symptoms and unspecified codes are acceptable and may even be necessary. In some cases, there may not be enough information to describe the patient's condition or no other code is available to use. Although you should report specific diagnosis codes when they are supported by the available documentation and clinical knowledge of the patient's health condition, in some cases, signs/symptoms or unspecified codes are the best choice to accurately reflect the ...

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.

The most common types of disability after stroke are impaired speech, restricted physical abilities, weakness or paralysis of limbs on one side of the body, difficulty gripping or holding things, and a slowed ability to communicate.
To report a late effect condition, you'll usually use two codes: One for the residual condition (e.g., scar), and another to identify the condition as a late effect of a previous illness or injury....Put It All TogetherCode the residual condition.Assign the late effects code.Add an E code, if necessary.
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.
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.

As the name implies, right hemiparesis is weakness on the right side of the body, while left hemiparesis is weakness on the left side of the body.

An ischemic condition of the brain, producing a persistent focal neurological deficit in the area of distribution of the cerebral arteries. In medicine, a loss of blood flow to part of the brain, which damages brain tissue. Strokes are caused by blood clots and broken blood vessels in the brain.
A type 2 excludes note represents "not included here". A type 2 excludes note indicates that the condition excluded is not part of the condition it is excluded from but a patient may have both conditions at the same time.
