Monoplg low lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff left dom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb that developed as a sequela of a non-traumatic bleed within the brain tissue. The paralysis is specifically located on the left side of the body and is a direct consequence of the intracerebral hemorrhage.

Apply this code for patients presenting with persistent left lower limb monoplegia documented as a residual effect of a spontaneous (non-traumatic) intracerebral hemorrhage. Documentation should clearly state the laterality of the paralysis and its causal link to the prior hemorrhage, specifying the dominant side if applicable.

• Ensure documentation specifies "monoplegia" of a single lower limb, not hemiplegia or paraplegia.
• Verify the hemorrhage was non-traumatic; if traumatic, a different code series would apply.
• Confirm the affected side is the left and that it is the dominant side, as specified in the code description.
