Monoplg upr lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff left nondom side

This code describes paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the left non-dominant arm, as a residual effect of a spontaneous (nontraumatic) intracerebral hemorrhage. It indicates a chronic neurological deficit resulting from a stroke not caused by external injury.

Use this code for patients presenting with persistent monoplegia of their left non-dominant upper extremity due to a past intracerebral hemorrhage. Documentation should clearly state the nontraumatic origin of the hemorrhage and specify the affected limb and its non-dominant side.

• Ensure documentation specifies "nontraumatic" to differentiate from traumatic brain injury sequelae.
• Verify the affected side (left) and its dominance (non-dominant) are clearly documented.
• Always sequence this code after the acute intracerebral hemorrhage code (e.g., I61.-) if the patient is still in the acute phase of care, or as a primary diagnosis for follow-up care of the sequela.
