What hemiparesis ICD codes can I use?
If you're looking for hemiparesis ICD codes, there is much to pick from. We selected five examples to give you an idea of what to expect from all the other Hemiparesis ICD-10 codes. Here they are:
I69.059 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting unspecified side
This ICD-10 code is meant to be used on a patient confirmed to have Hemiplegia and Hemiparesis that resulted from a non-traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. However, the unaffected side is not specified or known, hence the unspecified side label. Once you have identified the specific affected side, using any from Items 2 to 5 is best.
I69.051 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting right dominant side
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, the affected side has been identified, and it's the right dominant side of the patient.
I69.052 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting left dominant side
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, the affected side has been identified, and it's the left dominant side of the patient.
I69.053 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, the affected side has been identified, and it's the right non-dominant side of the patient.
I69.054 - Hemiplegia and hemiparesis following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side
This is the same as Item 1, but this time, the affected side has been identified, and it's the left non-dominant side of the patient.
There are more ICD-10 codes that are the same as these, but the reasons for the presence of Hemiplegia and hemiparesis are different. You will see the same set of codes for the following:
- Non-traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage
- Other non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage
- Cerebral infarction
- Other cerebrovascular disease
- Unspecified cerebrovascular disease
Pick the appropriate ICD-10 codes for your patients.
