Unspecified sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage

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.

Buddy Documentation Tip

HCC Buddy guidance
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

What This Code Means

I69.20 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified sequelae of other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. 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. I69.20 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the circulatory system (i00-i99), within the section covering cerebrovascular diseases (i60-i69).

I69.20 is a billable ICD-10-CM code but does not map to a payment HCC under the CMS-HCC V28, V24, ESRD, or RxHCC risk adjustment models. It can be reported on Medicare Advantage encounter data submissions but it does not contribute to a beneficiary's RAF score and therefore does not affect risk-adjusted payments to the plan.

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.

HCC Buddy maintains structured V28 and V24 mapping, RAF weights, and MEAT documentation criteria for I69.20 sourced directly from the CMS-HCC risk adjustment model files and the CMS ICD-10-CM code set.

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
