Attn and concentration deficit fol other ntrm intcrn hemor

This code signifies a cognitive impairment characterized by difficulty sustaining attention and focusing, which directly results from a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage other than a subarachnoid or intracerebral hemorrhage. This deficit impacts the patient's ability to concentrate on tasks, process information, and maintain mental focus.

Apply this code when documentation clearly links a patient's attention and concentration deficits to a prior non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., subdural, epidural, or intraventricular hemorrhage not specified as subarachnoid or intracerebral). The medical record should describe the specific cognitive impairment and its sequela relationship to the hemorrhage.

• Ensure the documentation specifies "attention and concentration deficit" and not a more general cognitive impairment.
• Verify the hemorrhage was "nontraumatic" and not specifically subarachnoid (I69.010) or intracerebral (I69.110).
• Sequence this code after the primary diagnosis for the specific type of nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage, if still active, or as a primary diagnosis if the sequela is the focus of the encounter.
