Hemiplegia & hemiparesis (ICD 10 G81 codes)
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.
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.
