ICD-10 Code I69.064 – Other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side (2026): Diagnosis, Symptoms & Billing Guide
2026 ICD-10-CM Diagnosis Code I69.064 – Other paralytic syndrome following nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage affecting left non-dominant side
What it is
This code identifies a residual paralytic syndrome that remains after a nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage and affects the patient’s left non-dominant side. It reflects a sequela, not the acute hemorrhage itself.
Clinical signs
Findings may include weakness, impaired voluntary movement, or other persistent motor deficits on the left non-dominant side. Clinical features vary; refer to documentation.
When to use this code
Use this code when the record clearly links the ongoing paralysis or paresis to a prior nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage. You should also confirm that the affected side is the left non-dominant side. If the chart does not specify laterality, dominance, or sequela status, check documentation.
Do not use for
Do not use it for the acute subarachnoid hemorrhage itself or for paralysis from another cause. Do not assign it if the provider documents a different side, dominance, or a nonspecific residual deficit.
Coding tip
Sequence the residual condition code only when the aftereffect is documented as due to a prior hemorrhage.
