(Active) Effective Date: N/A Cerebrovascular diseases - Sequelae of cerebrovascular disease (I69) Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99) Feed
Facial weakness following a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
The medical necessity for this code is established by the presence of facial weakness as a direct result of a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. The documentation should support the causal relationship between the hemorrhage and the facial weakness.
Clinicians diagnosing and managing the sequelae of cerebrovascular diseases, including neurologists, physiatrists, and primary care physicians.
- Diseases of the circulatory system (I00-I99)
- I69 - Sequelae of cerebrovascular diseaseI69.0 - Sequelae of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhageI69.09 - Other sequelae of nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
In simple words: Facial weakness or drooping after a bleed in the brain (subarachnoid hemorrhage) that wasn't caused by an injury.
Facial weakness following a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. This includes facial droop as a sequela.
Example 1: A patient presents with facial weakness following a recent subarachnoid hemorrhage. The weakness is impacting their ability to speak and eat., A patient experiences facial drooping after a subarachnoid hemorrhage, which was confirmed by imaging studies. The drooping has persisted for several weeks and is affecting their quality of life., A patient who suffered a subarachnoid hemorrhage several months prior is experiencing persistent facial weakness and is seeking rehabilitation services.
Documentation should include details of the subarachnoid hemorrhage, neurological examination findings describing the facial weakness, and any associated symptoms. Imaging results confirming the subarachnoid hemorrhage should also be included.
** This code helps to specify the sequelae of a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, which is crucial for accurate reporting and tracking of patient outcomes.Remember to consult iFrameAI for the most up-to-date information and complex scenarios.As of today's date, November 30, 2024, this information is current, but medical coding is subject to change.
