Facial weakness following cerebral infarction I69. 392 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 392 became effective on October 1, 2021.
Other sequelae of cerebral infarction The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 398 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of I69. 398 - other international versions of ICD-10 I69.
If a physician clearly documents that a patient is being seen who has a history of cerebrovascular disease or accident with residual effects, a code from category I69* should be assigned.
Sequelae are residual effects or conditions produced after the acute phase of an illness or injury has ended. Therefore there is no time limit on when a sequela code can be assigned. Residuals may be apparent early on such as in cerebral infarction, or they can occur months or years later.....
A cerebral infarction (also known as a stroke) refers to damage to tissues in the brain due to a loss of oxygen to the area. The mention of "arteriosclerotic cerebrovascular disease" refers to arteriosclerosis, or "hardening of the arteries" that supply oxygen-containing blood to the brain.
ICD-10 code R53. 1 for Weakness is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Symptoms, signs and abnormal clinical and laboratory findings, not elsewhere classified .
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 .
Unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction I69. 30 is a billable/specific ICD-10-CM code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis for reimbursement purposes. The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69. 30 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
A cerebral infarction (ICD-9-CM code 434.91), also called a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), occurs when the blood supply to a part of the brain is slowed or interrupted and brain tissue is deprived of oxygen and nutrients, causing cells to die.
Also called ischemic stroke, a cerebral infarction occurs as a result of disrupted blood flow to the brain due to problems with the blood vessels that supply it. A lack of adequate blood supply to brain cells deprives them of oxygen and vital nutrients which can cause parts of the brain to die off.
Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting left nondominant side The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G81. 94 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G81.
Z91.81There is also another code available in ICD-10 for falls: Z91. 81 (History of falling). This code is to be used when the patient has fallen before and is at risk for future falls.
Hemiplegia, unspecified affecting right dominant side The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM G81. 91 became effective on October 1, 2021. This is the American ICD-10-CM version of G81.
ICD-10 code I73. 9 for Peripheral vascular disease, unspecified is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
Sequelae of cerebral infarction. Approximate Synonyms. Hemiparesis/hemiplegia (one sided weakness/paralysis) Hemiplegia (paralysis on one side), due to stroke. Hemiplegia (paralysis) and hemiparesis (weakness) from stroke. Hemiplegia (paralysis) from stroke. Hemiplegia and hemiparesis as late effect of embolic cerebrovascular accident.
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I69.359 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.
To treat an ischemic stroke, doctors must quickly restore blood flow to your brain. This may be done with emergency IV medication, emergency endovascular procedures, medications delivered directly to the brain, and removing the clot with a stent retriever. Emergency treatment of hemorrhagic stroke focuses on controlling the bleeding and reducing pressure in your brain caused by the excess fluid. Treatment options include emergency measures, surgery, surgical clipping, coiling (endovascular embolization), surgical AVM removal, and stereotactic radiosurgery. After emergency treatment, you’ll be closely monitored for at least a day. After that, stroke care focuses on helping you recover as much function as possible and return to independent living. The impact of your stroke depends on the area of the brain involved and the amount of tissue damaged.

A stroke is a medical emergency, and prompt treatment is crucial. Early action can reduce brain damage and other complications. The good news is that many fewer Americans die of stroke now than in the past. Effective treatments can also help prevent disability from stroke. .
The patient is admitted into hospital and diagnosed with cerebral infarction, unspecified ( ICD-10 code I63.9). At the 3-week post-discharge follow-up appointment for the cerebral infarction, the office visit note states the patient had a stroke and has a residual deficit of hemiplegia, affecting the right dominant side.
In ICD-10 CM, code category I63 should be utilized when the medical documentation indicates that an infarction or stroke has occurred. Coding of sequelae of stroke and infarction also demands a level of detail often missing in medical records. There are specific codes which indicate the cause of the infarction, such as embolism or thrombosis, as well as the specific affected arteries. The sixth digit provides additional information which designates the affected side when applicable.
Seek answers to two questions when coding a stroke, infarction, or hemorrhage. First, ask if the cerebral event is acute, or emergent. Second, find in the medical record details of the site and the site, laterality, and type of stroke or infarction. Medical record documentation should clearly specify the cause-and-effect relationship between the medical intervention and the cerebrovascular accident in order to assign a code for an intraoperative or postprocedural cerebrovascular accident.
Also code any documented atrial fibrillation, CAD, diabetes, or hypertension as these comorbidities are stroke risk factors.
Report any and all neurological deficits of a cerebrovascular accident that are exhibited anytime during a hospitalization, even if the deficits resolve before the patient is released from the hospital.
If the provider is not specific in recording the site of a stroke or infarction, it is permissible for coders to use the accompanying CT scans or other radiological reports to report the specific anatomic site.
Documentation of unilateral weakness in conjunction with a stroke is considered by the ICD to be hemiparesis/hemiplegia due to the stroke and should be reported separately. Hemiparesis is not considered a normal sign or symptom of stroke and is always reported separately. If the patient’s dominant side is not documented, ...
