Oth parlyt synd fol ntrm subarach hemor aff r nondom side

This code signifies a paralytic syndrome, not otherwise specified, that occurs as a sequela of a subarachnoid hemorrhage not caused by trauma. The neurological deficit specifically impacts the right side of the body and is associated with the non-dominant cerebral hemisphere. This indicates a chronic or residual neurological impairment resulting from the prior hemorrhage.

Use this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing ongoing paralysis or paresis on their right side, and this condition is directly attributed to a past non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. The medical record must specify the laterality (right side) and the non-dominant hemisphere involvement. This code is appropriate for long-term follow-up care for these residual neurological deficits.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states the paralysis is a sequela of a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage, not an acute event.
• Verify the affected side is documented as "right" and, if specified, "non-dominant."
• Do not use this code for acute paralytic conditions or for paralysis due to traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage.
