I69.21Cognitive deficits following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage

I69.21 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cognitive deficits following other nontraumatic intracranial 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 8 subcodes must be used instead.

Within I69.2, choose I69.21 (Cognitive deficits following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.20), speech and language deficits following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.22), monoplegia of upper limb following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.23), monoplegia of lower limb following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.24), hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.25), other paralytic syndrome following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.26) and other sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage (I69.29).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I69.210 (hemorrhage), I69.211 (hemorrhage), I69.212 (hemorrhage), I69.213 (hemorrhage), I69.214 (hemorrhage), I69.215 (hemorrhage), I69.218 (hemorrhage) and I69.219 (hemorrhage).

It has been part of ICD-10-CM since the code set took effect on October 1, 2015, and changed in FY2017 (expanded into subcodes).
