I69.212
BillableVisuospatial deficit and spatial neglect 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 a patient who has difficulty with spatial awareness and visual perception (such as neglecting one side of their visual field) as a lasting effect from a brain bleed that was not caused by trauma. These problems occur after the initial bleeding has resolved but the brain damage persists.
Coding Tips
- •This is a sequela code (indicated by the 'I69' prefix) and should only be used after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has passed; ensure the hemorrhage itself is no longer being actively treated
- •Verify the type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage in the patient's history (such as hypertensive, ruptured aneurysm, or arteriovenous malformation) to confirm this code is appropriate rather than codes for other hemorrhage types
