Other sequelae of nontraumatic intracerebral hemorrhage

This code signifies long-term, residual effects stemming from a non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) that are not specifically classified elsewhere. These sequelae manifest after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has resolved and represent persistent neurological deficits or complications.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient is experiencing lasting neurological impairments, such as cognitive deficits, motor weakness, or sensory disturbances, directly attributable to a past non-traumatic ICH. The physician's notes should specify the link between the prior ICH and the current "other" sequelae.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states the hemorrhage was non-traumatic.
• Do not use this code for acute or subacute phases of the hemorrhage; it is for sequelae.
• Always sequence this code after the specific neurological condition (e.g., hemiplegia, aphasia) if known and documented.
