I69.211
BillableMemory deficit following 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 memory problems that develop after a person has had bleeding in the brain that was not caused by trauma or injury. The memory loss is a lasting effect of the brain hemorrhage.
Coding Tips
- •This is a sequela code and should only be used after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has passed; ensure the hemorrhage type is documented as 'nontraumatic' (not from head injury)
- •Verify the specific location and type of hemorrhage in the medical record, as other I69.2xx codes exist for different hemorrhage locations; this code requires documentation that memory deficit is a direct result of the hemorrhage
