Monoplg upr lmb fol oth ntrm intcrn hemor aff l nondom side

This code signifies paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the left non-dominant arm, as a residual effect of a non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage. This monoplegia is a chronic neurological deficit occurring after the acute phase of the hemorrhage has resolved.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates a patient presents with left non-dominant upper limb monoplegia that is a sequela of a previous non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (e.g., spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage). The medical record must specify the laterality (left) and the non-dominant side.

• Ensure the documentation explicitly states "monoplegia" and specifies the "upper limb" and "left non-dominant side."
• Verify the intracranial hemorrhage was "nontraumatic"; if traumatic, a different code category would apply.
• This code is for the sequela; code the underlying cause of the nontraumatic intracranial hemorrhage if still active and relevant.
