2025 ICD-10-CM code I69.119
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Diseases of the circulatory system - Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease 9 Feed
Unspecified symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.
Medical necessity for services related to this code must be supported by documentation demonstrating functional limitations and the need for interventions to address the cognitive impairments.The documentation should establish a clear link between the intracerebral hemorrhage and the cognitive deficits.
Clinicians should thoroughly document the specific cognitive impairments observed in the patient, even if a more specific code is not available. This documentation helps support the medical necessity of any interventions or therapies.
In simple words: This code indicates the presence of general cognitive problems after bleeding within the brain that wasn't caused by an injury.
This code describes a patient experiencing unspecified cognitive symptoms and signs after a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage.It encompasses cognitive impairments that are not specifically classified under other I69.11 subcodes.
Example 1: A patient experiences difficulty with concentration and decision-making following a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. As these symptoms aren't clearly categorized under other I69.11 subcodes, I69.119 is used., Following a stroke resulting in intracerebral hemorrhage, a patient presents with generalized cognitive decline affecting multiple areas but without a predominant deficit in a single cognitive domain.Code I69.119 is appropriate in this scenario., A patient post-intracerebral hemorrhage has cognitive issues that fluctuate and are not consistently captured by more specific cognitive deficit codes.I69.119 is used to document these unspecified symptoms.
Detailed documentation of the patient's cognitive status is crucial, including neuropsychological assessments, observations of daily living, and reports from caregivers. Documentation should describe the type, severity, and impact of cognitive impairments on the patient's functional abilities.
