ICD-9-CM V12.54 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, V12.54 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015. For claims with a date of service on or after October 1, 2015, use an equivalent ICD-10-CM code (or codes).

Short description: Hx TIA/stroke w/o resid. ICD-9-CM V12.54 is a billable medical code that can be used to indicate a diagnosis on a reimbursement claim, however, V12.54 should only be used for claims with a date of service on or before September 30, 2015.
The diagnosis codes for current stroke and sequelae of a past stroke (I63, I69) do have HCC weighted scores assigned to him. But past history of the stroke does not. This brings me to a compliance issue in HCC coding. I63.- Cerebral infarction
ICD-9-CM Diagnosis Code 437.9 : Unspecified cerebrovascular disease.
When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
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 .
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.
I63. 9 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 I63.
Cerebrovascular disease, unspecified I67. 9 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 I67. 9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
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.
ICD-10 code R51 for Headache 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. 3 for Sequelae of cerebral infarction is a medical classification as listed by WHO under the range - Diseases of the circulatory system .
The most important initial question to clarify with the patient, family, or witness is the stroke onset time and the patient's “last seen normal time,” as it starts the clock on eligibility for acute treatment, i.e., thrombolytic therapy with tPA and/or endovascular therapy.
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.
A collateral history is often very valuable in the context of suspected stroke or TIA, particularly when the patient is unable to communicate effectively.
The differential diagnosis of ischemic stroke may include brain tumour, hemorrhagic stroke, subdural hemorrhage, neurosyphilis, complex or atypical migraine, hypertensive encephalopathy, wernicke's encephalopathy, CNS abscess, drug toxicity, conversion disorder, electrolyte disturbance, meningitis or encephalitis, ...
The 2022 edition of ICD-10-CM I67.9 became effective on October 1, 2021.
A disorder resulting from inadequate blood flow in the vessels that supply the brain. Representative examples include cerebrovascular ischemia, cerebral embolism, and cerebral infarction. A spectrum of pathological conditions of impaired blood flow in the brain.
Broad category of disorders of blood flow in the arteries and veins which supply the brain; includes cerebral infarction, brain ischemia, brain hypoxia, intracranial embolism and thrombosis, intracranial arteriovenous malformations, etc; not limited to conditions that affect the cerebrum, but refers to vascular disorders of the entire brain. ...

Z77-Z99 Persons with potential health hazards related to family and personal history and certain conditions influencing health status
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.
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.
The CodingIntel Guide to Hierarchical Condition Categories provides a comprehensive list of HCC and Risk Adjusted Diagnosis Coding resources available on CodingIntel.
If the condition in question isn’t the presenting problem, the clinician should note that labs were reviewed, history was taken and/or it was considered when developing the assessment and plan. Is not within the scope of my work to make that determination, it is the job of the clinician. If the clinician documented in either the history of present illness or the assessment and plan, then I add that conditioned to the claim form.
But would history of a stroke increase the risk score? That is, if the group has risk based contracts, does adding history of stroke increase the risk score for that patient? The answer is no. The diagnosis codes for current stroke and sequelae of a past stroke (I63, I69) do have HCC weighted scores assigned to him. But past history of the stroke does not. This brings me to a compliance issue in HCC coding.
An example is patient had CVA listed in the PMH and current encounter is for thigh pain without known injury. There could be a correlation to a thrombosis or blood clot that the physician must consider. The physician does not document this correlation, however the old CVA could affect treatment or care. Coding history of CVA code as a secondary would give a clear picture.”
