Monoplg low lmb fol ntrm subarach hemor aff r nondom side

This code describes paralysis affecting a single lower limb on the right side, occurring as a residual effect of a subarachnoid hemorrhage that was not caused by trauma. The paralysis is specifically noted to affect the non-dominant side.

Use this code for patients presenting with persistent right lower limb monoplegia documented as a sequela of a prior non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Documentation should clearly state the laterality of the paralysis (right lower limb), its monoplegic nature, and its causal link to a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, specifying the non-dominant side.

• Ensure documentation specifies "monoplegia" of the lower limb, not hemiplegia or paraplegia.
• Verify the etiology is a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage; traumatic cases use different codes.
• Confirm the affected side is the right lower limb and that it is identified as the non-dominant side.
