ICD-10 Code I69.013 – Psychomotor deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.013 – Psychomotor deficit following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage
What it is
This code identifies psychomotor deficit that occurs as a late effect of a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Use it when the prior hemorrhage is the documented cause of the ongoing impairment.
Clinical signs
Clinical features vary; refer to documentation. You may see slowed initiation, reduced coordination of thought and movement, or impaired motor response after the hemorrhagic event.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record states psychomotor deficit is due to a previous nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and the acute bleed is no longer the focus of care. Code the residual condition, not the original event, when the deficit persists.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for acute subarachnoid hemorrhage, traumatic hemorrhage, or nonspecific neurologic slowing without a documented causal link. Check documentation if the residual deficit is not clearly identified.
Coding tip
Verify that the provider links the psychomotor deficit to the prior nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage before assigning I69.013.
