Psychomotor deficit following ntrm intcrbl hemorrhage

This code signifies a persistent impairment in motor and cognitive functions, specifically affecting the speed and coordination of thought and movement, that occurs as a sequela of a non-traumatic bleed within the brain tissue. It describes a long-term neurological deficit impacting psychomotor speed and execution, resulting from an intracerebral hemorrhage not caused by external injury.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing ongoing psychomotor slowness or difficulty with coordinated movements directly attributable to a past non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. This code is appropriate for follow-up encounters where the residual psychomotor deficit is being addressed or monitored. Supporting documentation should specify the type of hemorrhage (intracerebral, non-traumatic) and the presence of a psychomotor deficit.

• Always sequence this code after the primary code identifying the specific type of non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (e.g., I61.-).
• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "psychomotor deficit" or describes symptoms consistent with it (e.g., slowed movements, impaired coordination, cognitive slowing affecting motor tasks).
• Differentiate from other neurological deficits; this code is specific to psychomotor impairment, not general motor weakness (hemiplegia, monoplegia) unless the psychomotor aspect is distinctly documented.
