Monoplg upr lmb fol unsp cerebvasc dis aff right dom side

This code describes paralysis affecting a single upper limb, specifically the right dominant arm, that occurred as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular disease (e.g., stroke) where the specific type of cerebrovascular event is not documented. It indicates a chronic neurological deficit impacting motor function of the right arm.

Use this code for patients presenting with persistent right upper limb monoplegia attributed to a past cerebrovascular event when the specific nature of the cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic) is not specified in the medical record. Documentation should clearly state "monoplegia of right dominant upper limb" and link it to a "history of CVA" or "post-stroke condition" without further detail on the stroke type.

• Ensure documentation specifies "right dominant" to support laterality and dominance.
• Do not use this code if the specific type of cerebrovascular disease (e.g., ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage) is known and documented; instead, use a more specific I69.0-I69.3 code.
• Always sequence this code after the acute cerebrovascular event code (if still in the acute phase) or as a primary diagnosis for follow-up care of the sequela.
