438.0 — Late effects of cerebrovascular disease, cognitive deficits
About ICD-9-CM 438.0
438.0 is an ICD-9-CM diagnosis code for late effects of cerebrovascular disease, cognitive deficits. ICD-9-CM was retired for U.S. claims on October 1, 2015, when ICD-10-CM took over.
The CMS General Equivalence Mappings translate it to 8 ICD-10-CM codes, such as I69.910 (Attention and concentration deficit following unspecified cerebrovascular disease), I69.911 (Memory deficit following unspecified cerebrovascular disease) and I69.912 (Visuospatial deficit and spatial neglect following unspecified cerebrovascular disease). All of these are approximate matches, so review the record to pick the right one.
