ICD-10 Code I69.063 – Other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.063 – Other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting right non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies a residual paralytic syndrome affecting the right non-dominant side after a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. It describes a late effect, not the acute bleed itself.
Clinical signs
You may see weakness, paralysis, reduced motor control, or impaired function on the right non-dominant side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record documents ongoing paralysis or similar residual deficits due to a prior nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. The condition should be clearly linked to the hemorrhage and laterality should match the documented right non-dominant side. Do not use it for the acute event.
Do not use for
Do not use this code for the initial subarachnoid hemorrhage or for weakness without documented paralytic syndrome. Check documentation if the side, dominance, or cause is unclear.
Coding tip
Verify that the provider links the deficit to a previous nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and documents right-sided non-dominant involvement.
