Fluency disorder following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Problems with speech fluency, such as stuttering or halting speech patterns, occurring after a spontaneous brain bleed in the subarachnoid space.

Coding Tips

  • Fluency disorder is distinct from dysphasia and dysarthria; focus on rhythm and flow of speech
  • Ensure documentation specifies this as a post-hemorrhage sequela rather than a primary fluency disorder
