About I69.15

I69.15 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic intracerebral 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 a header code, so it can't be reported by itself; one of its 5 subcodes must be used instead.

Within I69.1 (sequelae of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage), I69.15 is specifically for hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Related codes cover unspecified sequelae of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.10), cognitive deficits following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.11), speech and language deficits following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.12), monoplegia of upper limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.13), monoplegia of lower limb following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.14), other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.16) and other sequelae of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (I69.19).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I69.151 (affecting right dominant side), I69.152 (affecting left dominant side), I69.153 (affecting right non-dominant side), I69.154 (affecting left non-dominant side) and I69.159 (affecting unspecified side).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015 and hasn't changed since.
