2025 ICD-10-CM code I69.110
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Cerebrovascular diseases - Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) Feed
Attention and concentration deficit following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
Medical necessity for services related to this condition would be supported by documentation of the functional limitations resulting from the attention and concentration deficit. This could include difficulty performing daily tasks, problems with work or school, and impaired social interactions.
Clinicians diagnosing and managing the long-term effects of cerebrovascular diseases, such as neurologists, physiatrists, and primary care physicians, are likely to use this code.
In simple words: This code indicates difficulty concentrating or paying attention after bleeding in the brain that wasn't caused by an injury.
Attention and concentration deficit following nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. This code is used to describe the sequelae (residual effects) of a cerebrovascular disease, specifically difficulty with attention and concentration after a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding within the brain tissue not caused by trauma).
Example 1: A patient who experienced a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage several months prior presents with ongoing difficulties focusing and sustaining attention, impacting their daily life. The physician documents these symptoms and assigns code I69.110., During a follow-up appointment, a patient recovering from a stroke reports problems with concentration and distractibility. After evaluating the patient's cognitive function, the physician uses I69.110 to code the attention deficit as a sequela of the cerebrovascular event., A patient with a history of intracerebral hemorrhage undergoes neuropsychological testing, which reveals significant impairments in attention and concentration. The neuropsychologist recommends cognitive rehabilitation and includes I69.110 in the diagnostic report.
Documentation should include details of the prior nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, the current deficits in attention and concentration, and their impact on the patient's functioning. Supporting evidence from neurological examinations, neuropsychological testing, or other relevant assessments can be included.
