Hemiplga fol unsp cerebvasc disease aff right dominant side

This code signifies a condition where a patient experiences weakness (hemiparesis) or paralysis (hemiplegia) on one side of their body, specifically the right side, as a residual effect of a cerebrovascular event. The underlying cerebrovascular disease is not specified in the medical record. The affected side is identified as the patient's dominant side.

Apply this code when documentation clearly indicates right-sided hemiplegia or hemiparesis as a sequela of a stroke or other cerebrovascular disease, but the specific type of cerebrovascular event (e.g., ischemic, hemorrhagic) is not documented. It is crucial that the medical record specifies the right side as the dominant side.

• Ensure documentation explicitly states "right dominant side" for the hemiplegia/hemiparesis.
• Do not use this code if the specific type of cerebrovascular disease is known; instead, use a more specific I69.x code.
• This code is for sequelae (late effects), not acute cerebrovascular events.
