I69.81Cognitive deficits following other cerebrovascular disease

I69.81 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for cognitive deficits following other cerebrovascular disease. 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 I69.8, choose I69.81 (Cognitive deficits following other cerebrovascular disease) only when documentation doesn't support a more specific option: unspecified sequelae of other cerebrovascular disease (I69.80), speech and language deficits following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.82), monoplegia of upper limb following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.83), monoplegia of lower limb following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.84), hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.85), other paralytic syndrome following other cerebrovascular disease (I69.86) and other sequelae of other cerebrovascular disease (I69.89).

To report this condition, pick the subcode that matches the documentation: I69.810 (disease), I69.811 (disease), I69.812 (disease), I69.813 (disease), I69.814 (disease), I69.815 (disease), I69.818 (disease) and I69.819 (disease).

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).
