I69.121
BillableDysphasia 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 difficulty with speech and language comprehension that developed as a lasting effect after a stroke caused by bleeding inside the brain (not from an injury). The person may have trouble speaking, understanding words, or both.
Coding Tips
- •This is a sequela code (I69.xxx series) and should only be used when the dysphasia is a documented late effect of a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, not the acute stroke itself
- •Verify the medical record clearly documents both the history of intracerebral hemorrhage and the current dysphasia condition; do not use this code if the hemorrhage is acute or if dysphasia has a different cause
