Monoplg upr lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff right dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the right dominant arm, as a residual effect of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. It indicates a chronic neurological deficit resulting from a stroke that occurred within the brain tissue itself, not due to external injury.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states monoplegia of the right dominant upper extremity as a sequela of a previous nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. This is typically used for long-term follow-up and management of stroke-related neurological deficits, after the acute phase of the stroke has passed.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nontraumatic" intracerebral hemorrhage; otherwise, a different etiology code may be required.
• Verify the affected limb is the "right dominant upper limb" and not the left, or a non-dominant side, as laterality and dominance are crucial.
• This code is for the sequela (late effect) of the stroke; do not use it for the acute stroke event itself.
