I69.192 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for facial weakness following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Weakness of facial muscles that persists as a long-term consequence of a non-traumatic brain bleed. I69.192 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the circulatory system (i00-i99), within the section covering cerebrovascular diseases (i60-i69).

I69.192 is a billable ICD-10-CM code, but the current payload does not show a mapping under the CMS-HCC V28 or V24 community payment models, and none under the ESRD, Part D RxHCC, or HHS-HCC models. Do not assign risk adjustment value from this page when no source-backed mapping is shown; verify the applicable model and payment year.

Accepted Answer

Yes. I69.192 carries no code-first instruction in the FY2026 tabular, so it can be the first-listed diagnosis when it is the condition chiefly responsible for the encounter and the note supports it, and it can also be reported as a secondary diagnosis. For risk adjustment the order does not matter; the V28 category is the same either way.

Question 9

Which codes cannot be reported with I69.192?

Accepted Answer

The Excludes1 note that applies to I69.192 lists traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (S06.-); personal history of cerebral infarction without residual deficit (Z86.73); personal history of prolonged reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (PRIND) (Z86.73); personal history of reversible ischemic neurologcial deficit (RIND) (Z86.73); and 1 more (see the notes on this page). An Excludes1 condition is not reported together with I69.192; report one or the other, unless the two conditions are unrelated, which the ICD-10-CM Official Guidelines (Section I.A.12.a) allow. The Excludes2 note lists certain conditions originating in the perinatal period (P04-P96); certain infectious and parasitic diseases (A00-B99); complications of pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium (O00-O9A); congenital malformations, deformations, and chromosomal abnormalities (Q00-Q99); and 6 more (see the notes on this page); those are separate conditions that may be reported together with I69.192 when both are documented.
