I69.119
BillableUnspecified symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes cognitive problems (such as memory loss, confusion, or difficulty thinking) that occur after a stroke caused by bleeding in the brain, when the specific type of cognitive symptom is not documented. It is used when a patient has experienced a brain bleed and now shows signs of mental or thinking difficulties.
Coding Tips
- •This code requires documentation of a prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH); verify the hemorrhage was not caused by trauma and confirm the cognitive symptoms are sequelae (aftereffects) of that event
- •Use the 5th character '9' only when the specific cognitive symptom (such as memory loss, attention deficit, or language difficulty) is not specified; if a specific cognitive deficit is documented, select the appropriate more specific code (I69.110-I69.118)
