Monoplg upr lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff left dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the left arm, that developed as a direct consequence of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. The patient's left side is identified as their dominant side.

Use this code for patients presenting with left upper limb monoplegia that is a sequela of a spontaneous (nontraumatic) bleed within the brain. Documentation should clearly state the laterality of the monoplegia, the underlying cause as a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage, and the patient's left-sided dominance.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" to differentiate from hemorrhagic stroke due to injury.
• Verify the affected limb is explicitly stated as the "upper limb" and the laterality is "left."
• Confirm the patient's dominance is documented as "left dominant" to support this specific code.
