Facial weakness following cerebral infarction

This code does not map to an HCC category in any model (V28, V24, ESRD, RxHCC).

What This Code Means

Weakness of the face muscles that occurs as a lasting effect after a stroke caused by a blood clot in the brain.

Coding Tips

  • •This code represents a late effect of cerebral infarction; ensure the stroke has already occurred and this is a residual condition
  • •Specify which side of the face is affected (right vs. left) if documented, as laterality may be important for clinical management
