I69.20
BillableUnspecified sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage
This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).
What This Code Means
This code describes lasting effects or complications from bleeding in the brain that was not caused by trauma (injury), when the specific type of complication is not specified. These lingering problems can include weakness, speech difficulties, or other neurological issues that persist after the initial bleeding has occurred.
Coding Tips
- •Use this code only when the specific sequela (complication) of the intracranial hemorrhage is not documented; if the specific effect is known (such as aphasia, hemiplegia, or cognitive deficits), use the more specific I69.2x codes instead
- •Ensure the hemorrhage was nontraumatic in origin; if the bleeding resulted from head injury, use codes from the S06 series instead
