Monoplg low lmb fol ntrm intcrbl hemor aff right nondom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single lower limb (monoplegia) that developed as a sequela of a nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. Specifically, the neurological deficit impacts the right side of the body, and this side is identified as the non-dominant hemisphere for the patient.

Apply this code when documentation clearly states monoplegia of the right lower limb as a residual effect of a spontaneous (nontraumatic) intracerebral hemorrhage. The medical record must also specify that the right side is the patient's non-dominant side. This code is appropriate for chronic or long-term neurological deficits.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "nontraumatic" to differentiate from traumatic brain injury sequelae.
• Verify laterality (right) and the affected limb (lower) are explicitly stated, along with the patient's dominant side.
• This code is for sequelae; an additional code for the initial intracerebral hemorrhage (e.g., I61.-) would be used for the acute event.
