I69.30 ICD-10-CM Code: Unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction

I69.30 is the ICD-10-CM diagnosis code for unspecified sequelae of cerebral infarction. This code describes lasting effects or complications from a previous stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain, when the specific type of remaining problem is not documented. It is used when a patient has recovered from the initial stroke but continues to experience some form of disability or functional impairment. I69.30 sits in the ICD-10-CM chapter for diseases of the circulatory system (i00-i99), within the section covering cerebrovascular diseases (i60-i69).

I69.30 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 (aftereffect) of the cerebral infarction is not documented; if the particular complication is known (such as aphasia, hemiplegia, or cognitive deficits), use the more specific I69.3x codes instead.
