About I69.014

I69.014 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for frontal lobe and executive function deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. It belongs to category I69 (sequelae of cerebrovascular disease), block I60-I69 (cerebrovascular diseases) and chapter 9 (diseases of the circulatory system). It is billable, so it can be reported on its own for dates of service from October 1, 2026 through September 30, 2027.

Within I69.01 (cognitive deficits following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage), I69.014 is specifically for frontal lobe and executive function deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Related codes cover attention and concentration deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.010), Memory deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.011), Visuospatial deficit and spatial neglect following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.012), psychomotor deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.013), cognitive social or emotional deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.015), other symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.018) and unspecified symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (I69.019).

It is not a CC or MCC, so as a secondary diagnosis it doesn't change the MS-DRG severity level.

In MS-DRG v44.0, it is part of the grouping logic for DRG 056 (Degenerative Nervous System Disorders with MCC, relative weight 2.2655) and DRG 057 (Degenerative Nervous System Disorders without MCC, relative weight 1.2838), in MDC 01 (Diseases and Disorders of the Nervous System), as a principal or secondary diagnosis. The DRG a claim lands in depends on the principal diagnosis, procedures and any CC/MCC secondary diagnoses.

It is exempt from present-on-admission (POA) reporting, so no POA indicator is required.

It was added in FY2017, effective October 1, 2016.

Before ICD-10, this condition was coded in ICD-9-CM as 438.0 (late effects of cerebrovascular disease, cognitive deficits).
