2025 ICD-10-CM code I69.218
(Active) Effective Date: N/A Diseases of the circulatory system - Other cerebrovascular disease IX Feed
Other symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Medical necessity is established by the presence of cognitive deficits resulting from a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, which significantly impair the patient's ability to perform daily activities.
In simple words: This code represents other cognitive symptoms and signs after a non-traumatic brain bleed (not caused by an injury).
Other symptoms and signs involving cognitive functions following other nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This code excludes 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 neurological deficit (RIND) (Z86.73), and sequelae of traumatic intracranial injury (S06.-).
Example 1: A patient experiences difficulty with planning and organizing after a subarachnoid hemorrhage., A patient presents with impaired judgment and decision-making following an intracerebral hemorrhage., A patient exhibits problems with abstract thinking after a nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage.
Documentation should include details of the nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, the specific cognitive deficits observed, and their impact on the patient's daily functioning. Neuropsychological testing results can be helpful in supporting the diagnosis.
