Attn and concentration deficit following ntrm intcrbl hemor

This code signifies a cognitive impairment characterized by difficulty sustaining attention and focusing, which has developed as a direct consequence of a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It describes a specific neurological sequela impacting executive function following a spontaneous bleed within the brain parenchyma.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's attention and concentration deficits to a prior non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. This is appropriate for patients experiencing persistent cognitive challenges in these areas after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has resolved.

• Ensure the medical record explicitly states the attention/concentration deficit is a sequela of the intracerebral hemorrhage, not an acute symptom.
• Differentiate from other cognitive deficits; this code is specific to attention and concentration.
• Always sequence this code after the appropriate code for the underlying non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (e.g., I61.-).
