When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
Cognitive deficits following cerebral infarction The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 31 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I69. 31 - other international versions of ICD-10 I69.
Definition: Visual Loss: objective loss of visual acuity during a finite period attributable to an underlying disease.
If “blindness” or “low vision” of both eyes is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign code H54. 3, Unqualified visual loss, both eyes. If “blindness” or “low vision” in one eye is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign a code from H54.
354 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following cerebral infarction affecting left non-dominant side.
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.
73 for Personal history of transient ischemic attack (TIA), and cerebral infarction without residual deficits is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Factors influencing health status and contact with health services .
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 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H53.132 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A localized defect in the visual field bordered by an area of normal vision. This occurs with a variety of eye diseases (e.g., retinal diseases and glaucoma); optic nerve diseases, and other conditions.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM H53.40 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Cerebrovascular accident (also known as CVA) is the medical term for a stroke. A stroke occurs when the blood supply to part of your brain is interrupted or reduced, preventing brain tissue from getting oxygen and nutrients. Brain cells begin to die in minutes.
The quicker you can get a diagnosis and treatment for a stroke, the better your prognosis will be. For this reason, it’s important to understand and recognize the symptoms of a stroke.
Emergency treatment for stroke depends on whether you’re having an ischemic stroke or a stroke that involves bleeding into the brain. To treat an ischemic stroke, doctors must quickly restore blood flow to your brain.
If “blindness” or “low vision” of both eyes is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign code H54.3, Unqualified visual loss, both eyes. If “blindness” or “low vision” in one eye is documented but the visual impairment category is not documented, assign a code from H54.6-, Unqualified visual loss, one eye. If “blindness” or “visual loss” is documented without any information about whether one or both eyes are affected, assign code H54.7, Unspecified visual loss.
ICD-10 codes for blindness and low vision are effective Oct. 1, 2017 and reflect parameters from the World Health Organization (WHO).
The definition of visual impairment and blindness contained the term “best Corrected Vision in the better eye. According to WHO, recent studies have shown that the use of “best corrected” vision overlooks large portions of visual impairments, including blindness, due to uncorrected refracted error.
Categories are divided between mild or no visual impairment, moderate, severe and blindness.
Uncorrected refractive error is now considered to be a major cause of visual impairment and estimations are under way to calculate the loss in terms of disability-adjusted life years (DALY) resulting from this cause.
H54.6 is a non-billable ICD-10 code for Unqualified visual loss, one eye. It should not be used for HIPAA-covered transactions as a more specific code is available to choose from below.
Visual impairment category 9 in one eye [normal vision in other eye].
