I69.85

Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease

Not billableICD-10-CM diagnosis code.

This code exists but cannot be submitted on its own. It groups the more specific codes beneath it.

A category header for its whole life, FY2016 onwards. It has never been valid for submission on its own.

Submit one of these 5 more specific codes instead:

  • I69.851 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease affecting right dominant side
  • I69.852 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease affecting left dominant side
  • I69.853 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease affecting right non-dominant side
  • I69.854 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease affecting left non-dominant side
  • I69.859 Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease affecting unspecified side

What has happened to this code

Every change the publisher made, from 2012 to now. Entries marked draft are from the pre-implementation releases: ICD-10 took effect on 1 October 2015, so nothing before FY2016 was ever valid on a claim.

  1. FY2012 Added to the draft code set draft Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following other cerebrovascular disease

Official coding rules

Published by CDC for FY2027. A rule attached to a category binds every code beneath it, so the rules inherited from this code's ancestors are shown with the code they come from.

Inherited from I69 Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease

Excludes1 - never coded here

  • personal history of cerebral infarction without residual deficit (Z86.73)
  • personal history of prolonged reversible ischemic neurologic deficit (PRIND) (Z86.73)
  • personal history of reversible ischemic neurologcial deficit (RIND) (Z86.73)
  • sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-)

Note

  • Category I69 is to be used to indicate conditions in I60-I67 as the cause of sequelae. The 'sequelae' include conditions specified as such or as residuals which may occur at any time after the onset of the causal condition

Inherited from the I60-I69 section Cerebrovascular diseases (I60-I69)

Excludes1 - never coded here

How CDC's index refers to this code

Wording from the official alphabetic index. Much of it appears nowhere in the code description, which is why a search for the everyday phrase so often finds nothing.
